Game Development Company in the UK

Game development costs in the UK vary by scope, genre, platform, art style, multiplayer needs, and timeline. Smaller scoped projects can start around £15,000–£50,000, while indie and mid-core builds often fall between £50,000–£200,000. Larger multiplayer, console, or multi-platform productions can move into £500,000+ budgets. No two builds are priced the same, so the final estimate depends on the GDD, team size, and delivery model.

For most engagement types, your production-ready team is assembled and the first sprint is underway within 1–2 weeks; compare that to a 3–6 month direct UK hiring cycle in London, Manchester, or Guildford. We’re the UK gaming company that studios and founders call when they can’t afford that wait. For urgent timelines, contact us and we’ll confirm availability on the first call.

Yes. You can hire individual developers or role-specific teams, including Unity developers for UK projects, Unreal engineers, 2D/3D artists, QA engineers, and game designers. Each team works on a monthly retainer and integrates directly into your tools and sprint workflow. Our UK-based representative manages the relationship in your time zone.

Game co-development for UK studios means Juego embeds into your existing team, your creative direction, our execution. Use it when your team is at capacity, when you need specialist skills in art, backend, QA, or multiplayer, or when you want to accelerate delivery without a permanent hire. The engagement ends when the phase ends, with no long-term commitment required.

A hyper-casual mobile game typically takes 6–10 weeks. A mid-core mobile game runs 4–6 months. A multiplayer title with cross-platform requirements typically requires 6–12 months, depending on feature complexity and netcode architecture. Playable prototype is typically available within 3–4 weeks of pre-production sign-off.

We track PEGI compliance requirements throughout production so your game is built with PEGI submission requirements in mind from the start, not redesigned at the last minute. We provide content category input (violence, language, gambling mechanics, online interaction) as a standard part of the UK production workflow.

Yes. Post-launch support covers crash monitoring, platform re-submissions, and performance patches. LiveOps includes seasonal event production, A/B testing of IAP pricing and ad placements, monetisation tuning, and content cadence planning — delivered by the same team that built the game, with no handoff or knowledge gap.

iOS, Android, PC (Steam), console (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch), WebGL/browser, AR (ARKit, ARCore), and VR (Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro). Cross-platform builds available on Unity and Unreal Engine — optimised per platform, not just ported.

You do, 100%. All code, art, design, and game IP is your exclusive property from day one. Full IP assignment is covered in the standard engagement agreement signed at project start. We can also align with your existing IP terms if required.

NDAs are signed before any project discussion begins. We maintain ISO 27001-aligned information security standards and UK GDPR-compliant data handling for player data. Source code is versioned in your own repositories (GitHub, GitLab, or Perforce) under your access control, with role-based logged access.

Both. AAA co-development partners, well-funded startups, indie studios, and individual founders — our senior-reviewed pipeline runs the same regardless of project size. Scoped to fit your budget, not padded to inflate it. Minimum engagement starts at approximately €15,000.
