Incinerator Studios was a video game developer located in Carlsbad, California, United States, known primarily for creating multiple racing game titles. Their portfolio included three games inspired by the Cars movie series and a single entry in the MX vs. ATV franchise. These projects were connected to versions produced by another racing game developer, Rainbow Studios. From 2006 until March 2009, Incinerator Studios functioned as a fully owned subsidiary of THQ. The company was later separated and became independent due to cost-cutting initiatives. In 2011, they established Playdek, a new business focusing on mobile tabletop gaming experiences.
By 2017, their official website had ceased activity, suggesting the company likely became inactive.
