1.4 Continued development (2017–present).

1.1 Separation from Paradox Entertainment (1999–2004).

They hold an annual convention, PDXCon, which has been open to the public since 2017. Outside of video games, Paradox has created board games based on several of its titles, and have owned the rights to the tabletop role-playing game series World of Darkness since purchasing White Wolf Publishing in 2015. They typically continue development of their games after initial release with the creation of downloadable content, and are also known for creating games that are easy to mod. Paradox is best known for releasing historically themed strategy video games, especially grand strategy games, and has published strategy games in different settings, as well as games of other genres such as role-playing video games and management simulators.

Through a combination of founding new studios and purchasing independent developers, the company has grown to comprise nine first-party development studios, including their flagship Paradox Development Studio, and acts as publisher for games from other developers. The company started out as the video game division of Target Games and then Paradox Entertainment (now Cabinet Entertainment) before being spun out into an independent company in 2004. Paradox Interactive AB is a video game publisher based in Stockholm, Sweden.
