FAQ
How does game development outsourcing help reduce development costs?
There are three key ways game development outsourcing can lower costs. First, it reduces labor expenses through global talent acquisition, allowing you to pay only for completed work without the added costs of hiring, onboarding, sick leave, or vacation time.
Second, an experienced outsourcing partner ensures high-quality deliverables, minimizing the risk of costly redevelopment due to inexperienced teams.
Third, outsourcing can lead to significant infrastructure savings, as your partner often manages servers, software licenses, and powerful workstations, sometimes even securing discounts through partnerships, like for cloud services.
What are the risks of outsourcing game development to a vendor?
The main risk is choosing a vendor with insufficient competence. In this case, you can easily face missed deadlines or deliverables far from your quality standards. Neither is good for your brand image or user satisfaction.
But even if a vendor is a pro, you're at risk of vendor dependency. Think of a vendor responsible for some critical aspects of your game development, which is experiencing some financial or staff issues and is unable to deliver high-quality work on time.
How can we control the quality of the game when outsourcing to a vendor?
The key to maintaining quality when outsourcing is transparency at every stage. It starts as early as the planning stage, with the design of clear KPIs, and extends to every development iteration in the form of regular reporting, efficient, RACI-based communication, and routine feedback loops.
We're a rather small company. Will game development outsourcing work for us, or is it reasonable just for AAA game projects?
Outsourcing is sometimes perceived as a luxury that only big-name game studios can afford, but startups and small companies often gain more value from it.
Game outsourcing provides the speed, scalability, and quality that professional game development companies offer while eliminating the time-consuming HR and onboarding processes required for new in-house hires. This is especially beneficial for first-timers and small-scale studios, where time and resources are at a premium.
