The Torque engine and its many derivative products were available for license from [[GarageGames]], a company formed by many members of the ''Tribes 2'' team at Dynamix. GarageGames was later acquired by [[InstantAction]], but by November 2010, InstantAction began winding down its operations and looking for potential buyers for Torque.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.torquepowered.com/community/blogs/view/20495 |title=November Update |last=Preisz |first=Eric |work=Blogs &#124; Community &#124; GarageGames.com |publisher=Torquepowered.com |access-date=2012-06-17}}</ref> In January 2011, GarageGames was re-acquired by Graham Software Development, and their name was reverted back to the original.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/20775 |title=Welcome Back GarageGames! |last=Preisz |first=Eric |work=Blogs &#124; Community |publisher=GarageGames |date=2011-01-20 |access-date=2012-06-17}}</ref>
