About game development outsourcing
CTO as a service is an alternative to hiring a full-time Chief Technical Officer in-house. This is a low-cost option for game development studios that don't require a full-time technical expert on the team or aren't ready to hire more people. Even if you have a large studio, hiring an external CTO can be beneficial. For example, if you need to evaluate new technologies and want an unbiased opinion, you could use CTO services. Virtual CTO services are also far more flexible to use because you don't have to spend months looking for the perfect candidate, hiring outsourcing agencies, and paying upfront fees for work that hasn't even begun. Furthermore, you can select a professional with relevant skills and experience in game development: someone who understands the specifics of the platforms and genres for which you create your games, as well as how to stand out in a specific niche.

Genres We create

- Interim CTO
Part-time CTO
If you are unable to hire a full-time CTO due to limited budgetary resources or team capacity, you will employ a part-time solution. Choose the time you require a Chief Technical Officer and the amount you are willing to pay for the services, and we will select the best option for you.
Contact us
One-time or project CTO
If you only need consulting CTO services for one project, this is the best option. You must agree on a fixed cost and begin working together right away. This is a useful service if, for example, you are launching a new product or require professional troubleshooting consulting.
Contact us
Fractional CTO
Choose fractional CTO services if you have a tech professional who can assist you with your game projects but still require an unbiased opinion. This is a quick and efficient way to get additional advice on your current processes and potential projects.
Contact us
Interim CTO
This type of collaboration is ideal for teams looking for a replacement or full-time CTO who do not want to disrupt critical processes in the interim. It's an ideal solution for last-minute requests.
