Game Habitat is moving! After nearly eight years at our DevHub at Torggatan 2 in Malmö, we're today loading the moving trucks to begin an exciting new chapter.
Game Habitat and our community-focused shared office space for game developers, DevHub, are now located at Minc, Anckargripsgatan 3, Malmö. However, the move to Minc is only temporary, as we’ll be moving into a completely redeveloped house at Isbergs gata 2 in Malmö in December. Find out more about the new house here.
DevHub was inaugurated on 3 September 2018, and we’ve had many fantastic years at Torggatan 2. Last Friday, we had a big party with the community to say goodbye to the house - and hello to an exciting new future. During the party, many fun facts and wonderful anecdotes were shared, here’s a select few:

We also made this video to remember some of the anecdotes and the good times at DevHub at Torggatan. We tried, but it’s impossible to summarize all the amazing things that happened in the house over the years.
Today, we move and say goodbye to our beloved house. Tomorrow, we embark on a new exciting future for games in South Sweden. It’s not an end, it’s a new beginning 🚀🎮
