Fast Travel Games

What Fast Travel Games is

Fast Travel Games develops and publishes core games for virtual reality players. Its own site says the studio is based in Stockholm and was founded by veterans of the Battlefield, Mirror's Edge and Angry Birds teams, and states that its mission is to deliver games made for VR headsets and their controllers. The company's games page gives a postal address in Stockholm, Sweden, and lists a catalogue of VR titles alongside the studio's own releases. Fast Travel Games describes itself as working with a focus on VR rather than treating the platform as an add-on to a conventional game.

How the studio started

A launch press release dated June 29, 2016 announced that Fast Travel Games had launched in Stockholm as a VR games studio, closing an initial seed funding round from Nordic investors led by Sunstone Capital. The release states that the company was founded in 2016 by industry veterans from Rovio, EA and DICE. The founding team named in the release is Oskar Burman as chief executive and co-founder, Kristoffer Benjaminsson as chief technology officer and Erik Odeldahl as creative director. The release credits Burman with building Rovio Stockholm and Benjaminsson with senior technical roles at EA, including Frostbite Labs, while Odeldahl is described as design director on Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

PAYDAY: Aces High

On March 24, 2026, Starbreeze Entertainment announced PAYDAY: Aces High, described as an officially licensed VR co-op heist game developed by Fast Travel Games. The announcement states the title will launch on Meta Quest and SteamVR headsets in 2026 under a licensing partnership, and that it supports up to four players in cooperative play. Fast Travel Games hosts a product page for the game that repeats the platform plan, stating that the title is coming in 2026 to Meta Quest 3 and SteamVR, with links to the Meta Store and Steam listings.

The studio's site also lists the Meta Quest store page for the game as its live storefront. The Meta Quest store listing for the game records its game modes as single user, player versus environment and co-op. Fast Travel Games presents the title as built for virtual reality from the start rather than adapted afterwards, and its games page places the game alongside the rest of the studio's catalogue and its published titles.

Publishing

Alongside its own development work, Fast Travel Games operates as a publisher for other VR teams. Its home page distinguishes between its latest development title and its latest publishing title, listing the latter as a dark fantasy adventure out on PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, Steam and SteamVR, with a Nintendo Switch 2 release dated March 26. The company describes the two sides of the business together, saying it develops and publishes core games for VR players and has a back catalogue covering several genres.

Its games page lists the studio's titles without separating which role it took on each. The studio's games page lists a back catalogue covering vampire adventures, interstellar roguelite action and sword-fighting titles, and its home page describes that catalogue as spanning a ten-year history. Some of those titles are published by Fast Travel Games, while its home page presents its most recent publishing release as a dark fantasy adventure built in clay and made by another studio, distributed by the company on PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, Steam and SteamVR.
