The company creates, develops and publishes massively multiplayer online real-time strategy games (MMORTS) for PC and mobile devices.

Kixeye gained popularity as a pioneer in midcore action games featuring real-time combat on the social networking website Facebook.

[2][3] Titles include Rogue Assault, Battle Pirates, War Commander, Vega Conflict, and Rise of Firstborn.

[2][7][8] In mid-2009 when searching for new venues for their strategy games, Scott and Preece decided to move their Flash knowledge to Facebook.

[7][9][10] After developing Minions on Ice and TSG: Missions as Casual Collective, they hired Will Harbin (co-founder of Affinity Labs) as CEO and moved the company's headquarters to San Francisco from Berkshire, England.

[7] Gamezebo gave Backyard Monsters 4.5 out of 5 stars, and said, "To release a game of this calibre for free on Facebook is a real achievement.

[15] After a company name rebrand in late April 2011, Kixeye launched War Commander and Battle Pirates on the Facebook Games platform.

[16] Later that year, Kixeye took action against racism by laying off employees reported for misconduct, following a former contractor post on Tumblr.

[17] In 2013, Vega Conflict, a spiritual successor to Battle Pirates set in space, launched on Flash but was quickly rebuilt in Unity.

In the game, people are divided into small, warring factions fighting for control of Earth's remaining natural resources.

The game focuses on the Vega Federation, a space empire that subjects miners to harsh working conditions in an attempt to find valuable Blood Amber.

Players seek out blueprints to unlock more powerful ships and weapons, forming the ultimate fleet of spaceships to bring to events or PvP combat.

War Commander: Rogue Assault is a mobile-based massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game.

Rise of Firstborn is a free-to-play 4X strategy mobile game originally developed by Netmarble and published by Kixeye in 2021.

If the player's yard is designed correctly, the defenses stop invading monsters who try to damage the buildings and loot resources.

[31] Backyard Monsters is no longer supported and player numbers have fallen significantly since its inception shortly after the final Hell-Raisers event held on March 26, 2013.

In 2024, the team released the first alpha version[33] of the archived game titled, Backyard Monsters: Refitted, which only featured a single player mode.

Players could also purchase special bonus powers that slowed down enemies, sped up tower guns and caused damage.
