we are Data X Engine
Data X Engine is a boutique game development studio founded in early 2025 with a mission to bring back the golden era of PC arcade gaming. Inspired by the simplicity and charm of classic titles from the ’90s and early 2000s, the studio crafts lightweight, nostalgic experiences optimized for modern Windows platforms.
Its flagship title exemplifies this vision—offering an ad-free, offline-playable Sudoku game that’s fast, elegant, and deeply familiar to puzzle lovers. With more retro-inspired titles in the pipeline, Data X Engine is building a digital arcade of timeless classics, reimagined for today’s casual gamers.
Whether you’re rediscovering old favorites or exploring vintage gaming for the first time, Data X Engine delivers a clean, focused alternative to today’s ad-heavy, overcomplicated game landscape.
