Devoted Studios is a production management company focused on external development within the video game industry. Our customers, ranging from AAA developers to indie studios, often face challenges in scaling their teams quickly, accessing specialized talent, or managing the complexities of distributed development. This is why Devoted Studios was founded: to simplify these external development processes and create equal opportunities for talented individuals worldwide to contribute to their dream game projects.

Our approach is to provide agile solutions that allow studios to scale through co-development and freelancer partnerships efficiently.

We partner with a vast network of over 1,900 pre-vetted programmers, artists, and designers globally, offering services that span the entire development lifecycle. This includes full-cycle game development, co-development, porting to various platforms (like Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5), art production (concepts, 3D, animation, mocap, lighting, tech art), and engineering solutions using engines like Unreal and Unity. Our clients benefit from our ability to assemble custom strike teams tailored to their specific project needs, budget, and time zones. We manage the production process with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring seamless collaboration and high-quality deliverables. Devoted Studios has been a proponent of remote collaboration long before it became mainstream, and we continuously invest in tools and practices that support decentralized game development, making every creative feel like an integral part of the team, regardless of their location.
