Roboto Games is an independent video game development studio headquartered in San Mateo, California, and operating on a remote-first basis. The studio's stated mission is to make games that work as solo experiences and as cooperative experiences with friends, a positioning it summarizes as "good alone, great together." After working across single-player and multiplayer genres, the team concentrated on survival crafting.

Its current project is Stormforge, an open-world survival crafting game set in a magical fantasy world in which players craft, build, fight, forage, defeat bosses and harness magical storms. The game supports 1 to 8 players, is described as highly moddable, is in development, and is listed for wishlisting on Steam. The studio's other title is Last Mage Standing, a game with PvE and PvP modes built around three-minute rounds in which players collect and upgrade a roster of Guardians paired with magical and mechanical abilities. In 2022 the studio's project was described as a survival/crafting MMO codenamed Foragers and Fighters, with character collection elements and a user-generated economy, planned around an optional Web3 model in which players could choose whether to collect NFT assets.

The team is small, with an average of about 12 years of games industry experience, and is organized around engineering, art, and product/design functions.
