Fast Travel Games is a Swedish video game developer based in Stockholm. Founded by Oskar Burman, Erik Odeldahl, and Kristoffer Benjaminsson in 2016, the studio mainly develops video games for virtual reality headsets.

History
Oskar Burman left his role as GM of Rovio Entertainment's Stockholm branch to start Fast Travel Games in early 2016. He was joined by Erik Odeldahl, who had been working at EA DICE as the Design Director on Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, and Kristoffer Benjaminsson, who worked as Senior Development Director at EA's Frostbite Labs. In 2017, the company announced its first game, Apex Construct, which was released the following year on the PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive headsets.

Following the release of Apex Construct, Fast Travel Games began work on its next original title, The Curious Tale Of The Stolen Pets. At the same time, the team also began to collaborate with Stockholm-based Neat Corp to co-develop Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency, which was released at the end of 2019.

In 2021, the studio launched a new VR game publishing initiative, with the first signed titles, Virtuoso and Broken Edge, released the following year. The company also began a long collaboration with Stockholm-based Paradox Interactive, which saw Fast Travel Games license and publish four games including Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife and Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice from the World of Darkness tabletop universe, as well as Cities VR, an adaptation of Cities: Skylines, and Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game, a spin-off of Stellaris.

In late 2023, Fast Travel Games announced its first original title in four years, Mannequin. It is also the studio’s first internally developed multiplayer title.
