Originally formed to localize Perfect World's games for international audiences, Perfect World Entertainment is also publishing games from sister-company developers Cryptic Studios (Star Trek Online, Champions Online, Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter) and Runic Games (Torchlight series and Hob), which they had acquired in 2011.
In December 2021, Perfect World Entertainment was acquired by Embracer Group and merged into The Gearbox Entertainment Company and rebranded as Gearbox Publishing San Francisco.
Embracer announced their plans to sell The Gearbox Entertainment Company to Take-Two Interactive in March 2024, with the company being retained by Embracer. They subsequently rebranded as Arc Games in April of that year.
