Crosse Studio is dedicated to creating entertaining lacrosse video games across a multitude of platforms, allowing players access to fast-paced, competitive, and engaging lacrosse video game simulations.
Since 2009, Crosse Studio has produced four video games celebrating the fast-paced game of lacrosse, which have generated more than 200,000 Facebook followers and a half million dollars in revenue. Currently available only on Xbox 360, the Company hopes to produce variations of its existing games for PlayStation 3 and smartphones. Crosse Studio is also putting licensing agreements into place with the National Collegiate Athletic Association to develop its next game for release in 2012: NCAA Lacrosse.
Crosse Studio develops and produces games that make the player feel like he or she is on the field. Each video game simulates the passion and furry of lacrosse; the Company uses proprietary coding to replicate the speed and stick work associated with the game. Crosse Studio has released the following games to date:
