About Loot
In 2009, LOOT™ began by creating virtual goods for PlayStation®Home, the incredible virtual world on the PlayStation® 3. We built items and experiences around Sony Pictures interactive properties such as Ghostbusters, Angels and Demons, Resident Evil: Degeneration, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and more! We even modeled our Stage Set virtual spaces after real world sound stages on the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City, to encourage PlayStation®Home users to make Machinima! Next, we created the LOOT interactive On Demand system, streaming free live events from NASA and Ustream, free movies and television shows from Crackle, and free music from RadioIO!
In 2014, we entered into a new phrase, evolving towards publishing and porting independent games and creating applications for Sony consoles. And just a year later in 2015, LOOT took the leap to become a completely independent company, LOOT Interactive. Still based in Culver City, we are growing as porting studio and publisher for indie games on both Sony and Microsoft hardware, developing applications for PlayStation®, and creating some of the best themes to be found for the PS4™!
