Bungie Software

Bungie, Inc. is an American video game developer based in Bellevue, Washington. The company was established in May 1991. Microsoft acquired Bungie in 2000, and its project Halo: Combat Evolved was repurposed as a launch title for Microsoft's Xbox console. On October 5, 2007, Bungie announced that it had split from Microsoft and become a privately held independent company, Bungie LLC, while Microsoft retained ownership of the Halo franchise intellectual property. It signed a ten-year publishing deal with Activision in April 2010. In January 2022, PlayStation announced that Bungie was joining PlayStation Studios, though stipulating that they would remain an independent and multi-platform studio and publisher.
