This includes taking over Kerbal Space Program publishing and releasing titles from Obsidian Entertainment, Panache Digital Games, and V1 Interactive.

The formation of Private Division was led by Take-Two's head of corporate development and independent publishing Michael Worosz.

[4] About two and a half years prior to the label's announcement Worosz pitched the idea of Private Division to Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick, who greenlit the creation of the label and they hired Allen Murray in late 2015 to run the production side, begin recruiting developers and build their team and infrastructure.

Additionally, Kerbal Space Program, acquired earlier by Take-Two from Squad, was re-published under the Private Division label.

[8][9] In July 2020, Private Division announced publishing deals with Moon Studios, League of Geeks and Roll7 for yet-unannounced games.

[17][18] In December, Private Division announced a publishing deal with Bloober Team to release a survival horror game.

[20] In March 2023, an unspecified number of Private Division employees were affected by layoffs as part of parent company Take-Two's effort to save $50 million.

GamesIndustry.biz reported that this led to a "vast majority" of Private Division's staff across their offices in Seattle, New York, Las Vegas, and Munich being let go in May, including shuttering Roll7 and Intercept Games.
