Demiurge Studios worked co-operatively on Green Day: Rock Band with Harmonix and Electronic Arts.[2] Demiurge Studios released their in-house project Shoot Many Robots in March 2012.

On February 19, 2015, Demiurge was acquired by Sega and became part of their mobile gaming subsidiary, Sega Networks.[3] By April 2020, Albert Reed, one of the co-founders and who had left in 2017, was able to re-acquire the studio from Sega to regain its independence though will continue to operate the various mobile titles it had developed under Sega. Reed desires to bring Demiurge back towards being a support studio for the AAA game industry and away from the mobile market.[4]
