Check Porting Feasibility First

What Affects Porting Cost?

Source Engine

Unity-to-Unity porting (adding a new platform target) is the cheapest. Cross-engine ports are significantly more expensive. Flash rebuilds are essentially new projects with the original game as a reference.

Target Platform

Mobile is generally cheaper than console because there is no certification process. Console adds TRC/TCR compliance testing, devkit costs, and potentially longer QA cycles.

Input and UI

A game designed for mouse and keyboard needs significant UI adaptation for touch screens. A touch game going to console needs controller mapping and HUD rethinking.

Multiplayer Complexity

Single-player games are straightforward. Server-authoritative multiplayer requires infrastructure changes, matchmaking adaptation, and cross-platform play decisions.

Codebase Quality

A clean, modular codebase is faster to port. Tightly-coupled or undocumented code requires more time to understand, adapt, and test.

Frequently Asked Questions

2 to 6 months depending on complexity. A simple mobile-to-PC port with minimal UI changes can take 6 to 8 weeks. A PC-to-console port with certification can take 4 to 6 months.
We specialise in Unity. If your game is already in Unity, porting to a new platform is straightforward. If your game is in another engine, we would typically rebuild key systems in Unity rather than doing a direct port. This is more of a rebuild than a port.
Yes. Our App Store Launch service covers submission, compliance, and store listing optimisation. Learn more →
Flash games cannot be "ported" in the traditional sense. They need to be rebuilt in a modern engine. We rebuild Flash games in Unity or HTML5. Legacy Modernisation →
We can implement cross-platform play for multiplayer games. This adds engineering complexity for account linking, matchmaking across platforms, and platform holder requirements. The cost estimate accounts for this if you select multiplayer features.
