About Two Point:

Two Point Studios sizzled into existence in the summer heat of 2016 with a goal to create amazing, deep simulation games that not only remain accessible to everyone but also don't take themselves too seriously - we call them our little people games!

After Hospital we had a dream of creating an entire world of these little people games within the place we call "Two Point County", and in 2022 our latest game Two Point Campus was released. With us being a part of the Sega family, and with the success of Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, we're now pushing forward with our next games to continue to make our "Two Point County" dream a reality!

Everyone in our lovely team gets stuck in. You've got some awesome ideas? You can bet we want to hear them!
