Monster Games, Inc. is a Minnesota-based game development studio. Founded in 1996, the company mostly specializes in racing games; when beginning their partnership with Nintendo they developed new installments for the Excitebike series. Since 2011, however, the company would largely work on handheld ports for recent Nintendo titles.

In 2016, the studio started an exclusive partnership with Motorsports Games to produce NASCAR games.

On January 4, 2022, iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations announced that it had acquired Monster Games as a subsidiary development studio.
