Humble Games

What Humble Games is

Humble Games is an independent video game publishing label. It published the puzzle game Unpacking, developed by Witch Beam. The official PlayStation Store listing for Unpacking lists Humble Games as the publisher and gives a release date of 10 May 2022 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The same listing carries a copyright notice stating that the Humble Bundle logo and the Humble Games logo are among the trademarks of Humble Bundle, Inc., which places the label inside the Humble Bundle group.

The label maintains its own website at humblegames.com, which presents its released and upcoming titles and offers developers a route to submit a game for publishing. That site describes the label's role as bringing expertise, resources and reach to help independent developers find an audience for their games without compromising the qualities that make them independent, and it invites studios with a game in development to make contact.

Unpacking

Unpacking is a puzzle game about moving house, in which the player takes possessions out of boxes and fits them into a new home while learning about the life being unpacked. Humble Games is credited as the publisher on the official PlayStation Store listing for the title, which covers the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions released on 10 May 2022. The game's publisher credit is one of the entries in the label's catalogue.

The title is also sold through other storefronts. The Humble Store lists Unpacking with Witch Beam as developer, and the game's Steam store page now shows Balor Games in the publisher field rather than Humble Games. That change on the storefront reflects the transfer of the label's back catalogue that was announced in March 2026, after which the Humble Games name no longer appears as the active publisher on the title's store pages.

Storefront presence

Unpacking is sold across several storefronts. Its Steam store page lists Witch Beam as developer and Balor Games as publisher, and shows a Very Positive review rating based on 93 percent of roughly 22,900 English-language reviews. The same page lists 25 Steam achievements, 16 supported languages and 13 points shop items, and confirms that the game is provided via Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux and requires a Steam account.

The Humble Store also carries Unpacking, listing Witch Beam as developer and Balor Games as publisher, and noting that the game is provided via Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux. Humble Games' own website continues to present the label's catalogue alongside a submission route for developers, and the domain now serves pages that carry the Balor Games name following the catalogue transfer announced in 2026.

Catalogue transfer to Balor Games

In March 2026 Good Games Group announced the launch of Balor Games, a new publishing label, and stated that it had acquired Ziff Davis's game publishing business, including the back catalogue of titles previously published under the Humble Games label. The announcement is dated 4 March 2026 and was issued from Los Angeles. It states that the acquisition reunited more than 50 indie games with their original publishing leadership and that, including separately acquired titles, more than sixty games sit in the Balor Games portfolio.

Balor Games is led by Alan Patmore and Mark Nash, described in the announcement as former Humble Games leaders, with Patmore named as CEO. The release lists Slay the Spire, A Hat in Time, SIGNALIS, Forager, Coral Island, Monaco and Wizard of Legend among the catalogue. The Humble Games website domain now serves pages carrying the Balor Games name, indicating the label has been rebranded rather than shut down.
