Salary benchmarks
Our take
Video game development is a complex process that requires teams of artists, programmers, testers, voice actors, and other specialists to allow the game to launch successfully. However, sourcing and hiring such specialists and coordinating teams can be a time-consuming task, particularly for cross-platform and multilingual games.
PTW provides cross-platform video game development services for publishers, focused on offering end-to-end services from art production and game development to localization and data collection. The company differentiates itself from similar agencies by focusing heavily on localization, ensuring that every game has been designed to meet QA for localized standards such as slang, culture, holidays, taboos, food, and more.
Whilst PTW certainly faces competition from other video game development agencies and freelance service providers, the company recognizes that building and coordinating such a team is complex. By filling any specialist gaps in a development team whilst focussing heavily on localization, the company claims it can help video game developers publish high-quality video games that meet the expectations of players, wherever their location.
