Two Tribes originally specialized in portable games and later developed games for consoles due to the popularity of the Wii and Xbox 360. Two Tribes has focused on  developing games for Windows and Macintosh, including online distribution. The company started by porting its franchises, "Toki Tori" and "RUSH", to Windows and Mac OS through Steam and the Mac App Store. The company has started to work with other developers to port their games to other platforms, such as "Swords & Soldiers", by Ronimo Games to iOS and "Edge" by Mobigame to Windows and Macintosh. Two Tribes has worked with major video game companies including Capcom, Nokia, Team17, and THQ. In January 2014, Two Tribes B.V. filed for bankruptcy, mainly due to disappointing sales of "Toki Tori 2".

A new daughter company was formed to handle the development of future titles. One working title was "RE:Wind", later announced as "Rive".
