Full-cycle Console Development

Console game development is a tricky place, especially for newbies. While the benefits of having access to a pre-existing audience of dedicated and passionate fans to market your games to are clear, there are a plethora of potential pitfalls to navigate. Starting from joining Partner Programs and getting development kits to be able to actually develop your game for consoles, to following unique console development guidelines and integrating native peculiarities, like native controller support, file system, social activities (achievements, leaderboards, etc.), and others. Not to mention that each platform is unique on its own.

That is where we come in handy. N-iX Game & VR Studio offers full-cycle solutions that cater to all aspects of console game development, from concept and design to development, testing, and launch. Our comprehensive approach to console game development ensures that you receive the technical expertise, design excellence, and testing support required to ensure the success of your game. This is how the process will look:
