EDGE Games ("EDGE" / "THE EDGE") are corporate and brand names that have been used by various EDGE Games predecessors since first used by EDGE's original predecessor in rights Softek International Ltd in London in 1984. However, "EDGE" (or EDGE Games) is not a U.S. corporation founded in 1990, as some Internet sources falsely state it is. A veteran independent game developer and publisher, EDGE has its origins as one of Britain's longest established computer game publishers. EDGE now operates jointly between Pasadena, California and London, England. EDGE's games are available everywhere worldwide that games are sold. EDGE is a registered developer for PS3®, XBOX360®, Wii® and Apple® iOS platforms in addition to a number of other computer, videogame and mobile device platforms. Most recently, EDGE has launched its new super-fast range of EDGE GAMING PCs with a goal of their being the fastest in the world. Upcoming are more games for iOS and PC including more iterations of EDGE's famous Bobby Bearing franchise. Most recently, the 2020 re-launch of the improved version of Bobby Bearing 2 for iOS devices.

EDGE Games was formed in 1980; first named "Softek Software," the EDGE/THE EDGE and EDGE Games brands were adopted in 1984. Also in 1984, EDGE opened its first offices in California. During the 1980s EDGE/THE EDGE was run primarily out of its Covent Garden, London offices. From 1990 onwards operations have been split between the Pasadena, California and London offices. Worldwide rights ownership and operations are split between various EDGE corporations in the U.S. and Europe.

From 1980 to the early 1990s, EDGE published over 100 games on various formats including Sinclair Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad, Dragon 32, Oric, Atari ST, Amiga and IBM PC. Since the mid 1990s EDGE has continuously continued to publish games on a variety of formats, from the CDTV games of the 90s right through to EDGE's game "Bobby Bearing 2: Rerolled" for Apple iPhone®, iPod® Touch and iPad® released on various formats between summer 2011 and Fall 2014. "Bobby Bearing 3" is now in the works for a 2015/2016 release, as are several other new EDGE games. Various EDGE Spectrum titles are being relaunched on the Recreated Sinclair ZX Spectrum, launched Fall 2015:
