What our partners say
Most of our partnerships grow into long-term collaborations. Our partners keep coming back.
We knew that Pingle had helped our friends at Dontnod Entertainment in porting their title Life is Strange to iOS. Pingle managed to optimise our existing mobile assets to run on the lowest end devices supported by Apple Arcade to a playable frame rate. A professional, friendly, and experienced studio, which we would recommend without hesitation.
Tobias Fossheim
Producer at Revolution Software
Before ramping up our production pipelines for Environment and Character Art, we needed support in creating 2D concepts to meet our expected throughput. In working with Pingle, what started as a solution to a simple production challenge grew into a wonderful partnership full of collaboration and creativity.
Producer
at Iron Galaxy Studio
We needed an external QA support in the weeks leading to the release of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Pingle seemed to have all the necessary resources available on top of being competent and well‑versed in VR. We identified and addressed a volume of bugs we couldn’t have tackled on our own.
Nicolas Soufflet
Director of Strategic Partnerships & Sourcing at Skydance Interactive
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Pingle Studio, who provided great help with both the development and porting of Lawn Mowing Simulator. Their communication, efficiency, skill and experience have been a huge benefit to LMS.
Michael Davies
Producer at Skyhook Games
We often require help with projects "on fire". Pingle has always been flexible enough to accommodate our needs. They've not been scared by challenging projects. We were able to ship multiple projects on tight deadlines with the challenging tech behind them. Pingle were able to deliver on time.
Alex Nichiporchik
CEO at tinyBuild
Iron Galaxy was very pleased with the development work Pingle did for our company. The Pingle team was a terrific functional fit and matched our intensity for high quality deliverables on time or ahead of schedule.
Carter Lipscomb
Dr. Business at Iron Galaxy Studios
We needed a partner that was experienced with UI/UX in UE4 and who could help us with the implementation and optimization of features we had already roughed in. Pingle helped us with many different tasks on multiple areas of the game and we are very thankful.
Kevin Franklin
Founder/CEO at Final Strike Games
We worked with Pingle Studio because we wanted to quickly produce a large volume of blockouts for X4: Split Vendetta and turn them into final modules for the game. Their 3D artists consistently delivered the quality 3D art we needed, helping us to release our game on time.

/ WHAT YOU GET /
PINGLE VS PUBLISHER
FOR PORTING
We’re not a publisher. We’re developers, just like you. We don’t dictate terms. We know what it takes to build games that feel right on every platform. You get speed, quality, and peace of mind – your game is in the hands of people who truly care
The Publisher problem:
-
You lose control
The publisher decides how, when, and by whom your game gets ported. You don’t have the final say.
-
Quality isn't guaranteed
Publishers often outsource ports. Since they aren’t developers, they don’t control the quality. If the port runs badly, it’s your reputation that takes the hit.
-
They enjoy the results, and you manage the risks
You sacrifice a big chunk of revenue, and when the release underperforms, it’s your name fans remember, not theirs.
Here's why partnering with us is different:
-
We work with you, not over you. You have full visibility and decision power.
-
We guarantee quality. Some of the greatest ports ever made were executed by the Pingle team.
-
Support for the most complex games, including city builders and large-scale open worlds.
-
We can ship on 6 platforms simultaneously.
-
99% first-time certification success rate. We handle the entire publishing process.
-
Trusted by 7 of the 10 most successful game developers.

Frequently asked questions
1
How are revenue splits structured?
The revenue split is based on the scope of work, the level of investment, and the risk each party is taking. We’ll discuss and agree on a fair split based on the deliverables, and ensure it aligns with the interests of both parties.
2
What protections are in place for IP?
Your intellectual property is yours. Period. We operate under strict confidentiality agreements and ensure that your game’s assets and code are protected. We don’t claim ownership over any part of your IP, and we make sure any work we do is under your direction, with legal safeguards in place to protect your rights.
3
Can I pay nothing upfront and only divide the revenue generated by the game?
Yes, you can pay nothing upfront. In this case, our fee will be fully covered by the game’s revenue after release. Or you can pay part of the fee up front, with the remainder acting as our investment in your game. We’ll tailor a plan that works for you.
4
Who makes marketing decisions?
Since we don’t handle marketing in-house, the decisions are typically led by you. We’re happy to collaborate with your chosen team or connect you with our trusted marketing partner. While you drive the process, we work together to ensure marketing is covered.
5
Who finances marketing?
Marketing investment is a shared decision. We’ll align on what’s needed and agree on the level of contribution.
6
Can we synchronize releases across platforms?
Definitely. We build a unified launch plan, including Steam, consoles, and mobile, so all versions go live together (or in any sequence you choose), with clear timelines and coordinated certification.
