We are thrilled to receive this honor for the third year in a row, and we dedicate it to our outstanding Atlanta team and to all AGS employees for taking pride in contributing to our shared success and passionately living our mission and values."

Out of the 2,400 nominations for Atlanta's Best and Brightest Companies to Work For®, AGS was one of only 121 companies named to the prestigious list for 2019.

AGS has two campuses in the Atlanta Metro area – one in Duluth, Georgia and another in Midtown. Nearly 200 employees work across these two campuses primarily in the fields of Research & Development, with a focus on game development, hardware engineering, software design, graphic design, and quality assurance.
