Historie rediger

Target Games AB startet som en butikk og laget rollespill fra 1980 og frem til konkurs og reorganisering i 1999. Alle rettigheter og eiendeler ble overført til datterselskapet Target Interactive som ble skilt ut og byttet navn til Paradox Entertainment[6][7][8]

I november 2004 kjøpte styreformann Theodore Bergquist den interaktive delen av selskapet og kalte det nye selskapet Paradox Interactive AB, mens Paradox Entertainment Inc flyttet hovedkontoret til Los Angeles.[6]

I 2015 ble Paradox Entertainment Inc kjøpt av the Cabinet Entertainment group, og fikk navnet Cabinet Licensing Inc.[9]

Hearts of Iron II var det første spillet utgitt som Paradox Interactive AB.[6]

Cities: Skylines, fra finske Colossal Order har solgt over 3,3 millioner spill[10][ikke i angitt kilde] og Magica har solgt 3,6 millioner og er selskapets bestselgere (pr mai 2017).[11][ikke i angitt kilde]
