Origins as Graffiti and Screamer

Founded by Antonio Farina to engineer a competitive PC rival to Namco's Ridge Racer, the studio debuted Screamer in 1995 under Virgin Interactive. Its blisteringly fast software-rendered 3D engine became an international smash hit.

Motorsport Specialization and MotoGP

Rebranded as Milestone in 1996, the studio specialized in two-wheel physics, producing the acclaimed Superbike series for EA Sports before securing official MotoGP and MXGP licenses, solidifying Milan as a global racing development capital.
