Boss Fight Entertainment was founded in 2013 by David Rippy, Bill Jackson, and Scott Winsett. The Boss Fight Entertainment team will continue to operate out of their current studios in Allen (Dallas), Austin, and Seattle.

“Since we launched mobile games to our members around the world just four months ago, we’ve been expanding our games catalog bit by bit as we build out our in-house creative development team,” said Netflix VP of game studios Amir Rahimi. “Through partnerships with developers around the world, hiring top talent, and acquisitions like this, we hope to build a world-class games studio capable of bringing a wide variety of delightful and deeply engaging original games.”

“Boss Fight’s mission is to bring simple, beautiful, and fun game experiences to our players wherever they want to play,” said the founders of Boss Fight Entertainment in a joint statement. “Netflix’s commitment to offering ad-free games as part of members’ subscriptions enables game developers like us to focus on creating delightful game play without worrying about monetisation. We couldn’t be more excited to join Netflix at this early stage as we continue doing what we love to do while helping to shape the future of games on Netflix together.”

Earlier this month, Netflix had announced the purchase of the game studio Next Games and in September it had bought Night School.
