How much does it cost to hire a game development company?

Hiring a game development company usually costs between $15,000 and $300,000 for most custom projects. AAA console or PC games can run into millions. The final number depends on scope, platform, art style, and team rates.

Simple mobile or hyper-casual games sit in the $15,000 to $50,000 range. Mid-size games with multiplayer or custom 3D art run $60,000 to $200,000. VR simulations and training tools land between $40,000 and $150,000. Console and AAA PC games start at $500,000 and go up from there.

Studios in the US and Western Europe charge more per hour than teams in Asia or Eastern Europe. At NipsApp, we send a clear cost breakdown before you sign anything.
