What We Build

Unity Development Across Every Platform

Unity is at the heart of everything we build. Our team has shipped 150+ titles across mobile, PC, console, WebGL, AR, and VR, using every major Unity version from 2018 through Unity 6.

Full development team, a few specialist engineers, or just expert input on an existing Unity codebase. Nine Pixels has the depth for all of it.

📱
Mobile, PC, Console & Web
Build once in Unity, deploy to iOS, Android, PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and WebGL, with platform-specific optimisation for each target.
🌤️
URP & HDRP Rendering Pipelines
Scalable Render Pipeline for mobile performance and High Definition Render Pipeline for console/PC visual fidelity, we work fluently in both.
🔁
Multiplayer Architecture That Scales
From Netcode for GameObjects to Photon Fusion and Unity Relay, we design multiplayer systems that handle thousands of concurrent players without faltering.
⚙️
Performance Engineering
Profiling, batching, LOD systems, addressables, and memory optimisation, we treat 60fps as a minimum requirement, not an aspiration.

Why Nine Pixels for Unity

Why Studios Trust Us With Their Unity Projects

We’ve shipped 150+ mobile titles. Here’s what that experience looks like in practice.

⚙️
10+ Years of Unity Expertise

Our developers have worked in Unity since version 4. We know the engine deeply, its strengths, its quirks, and every performance pitfall. That experience means fewer surprises and faster delivery.

📱
All Platforms, One Team

Mobile, PC, console, WebGL, AR/VR, the same team handles cross-platform deployment. No vendor switching, no lost context. We manage platform certification for every target you need.

📊
Performance Is Non-Negotiable

We profile at every milestone. Draw call budgets, memory ceilings, and frame time targets are agreed upfront and enforced throughout. 60fps on mid-range devices isn’t a stretch goal, it’s a baseline.

👥
Full-Stack Unity Teams

Engineers, artists, technical artists, QA, and a dedicated PM, all Unity-fluent, all under one roof. You deal with one team, one point of contact, and one accountable studio from first commit to launch.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Trusted by studios, publishers & brands across the UK, Europe, and beyond.

Mobile Game

Nine Pixels delivered our mobile game on time and on budget. Their Unity team was exceptional, they anticipated problems before they became blockers and the quality of the final product exceeded everything we had scoped. We’re already in talks for our next title.

CEO, Ironforge Studios · London, UK
Hyper Casual

We brought Nine Pixels in to build our hyper casual title. Best call we made on that project. The team knew exactly what they were doing and we shipped two months ahead of schedule.

Head of Production, Apex Interactive · Manchester
Dedicated Team

The dedicated team model was perfect for us. Nine Pixels assigned us developers, a 3D artist, and a QA lead, they felt like an extension of our own studio from day one. Our game hit 500K downloads in the first week of launch.

AK
Ahmed Khan
Founder, NovaByte Games · Dubai, UAE
WebGL

Nine Pixels built our WebGL game from the ground up, browser optimisation, game economy, cross-platform support, everything. Their expertise across both Unity and web deployment is rare. Huge commercial success and we’re building a sequel together.

Co-founder, PlayForge Labs · Singapore
Co-development

What sets Nine Pixels apart is that they think like game developers, not contractors. They pushed back when our design decisions would have hurt the player experience, and they were right every time. Our retention metrics are the best we’ve ever seen across 12 titles.

Luca Ferrara
VP Product, Stormgate Entertainment · Milan
Staff Augmentation

We needed senior Unity developers urgently mid-project. Nine Pixels had them onboarded and contributing within 72 hours. Their talent pool is genuinely impressive and the communication was flawless throughout. We’ll use them again without hesitation.

FAQ

Unity Development FAQs

Common questions about working with Nine Pixels on Unity projects.

Which Unity versions do you work with?+
We work across all major Unity versions from Unity 2019 LTS through Unity 6. We recommend the latest LTS release for new projects unless you have specific version requirements. For existing codebases we work within your current version and can advise on upgrade paths.
Can you take over or extend an existing Unity project?+
Yes, and we do this regularly. We begin with a codebase review to understand architecture, technical debt, and any performance issues. From there we can add features, fix bugs, extend your team, or take full ownership. We’ve stepped into projects at every stage of development.
Do you use URP or HDRP?+
Both. URP is our default for mobile and cross-platform projects due to its performance profile and shader support. HDRP is used for PC and console projects where visual fidelity takes priority. We also work with the Built-in Render Pipeline for legacy projects and specific client requirements.
Can you build multiplayer games in Unity?+
Absolutely. We’ve built real-time multiplayer games using Netcode for GameObjects, Photon Fusion 2, Mirror, and Unity Gaming Services Relay & Lobby. The right choice depends on your target player count, game type, and latency requirements, we’ll recommend the best architecture for your specific game.
What platforms can you deploy Unity games to?+
iOS, Android, PC (Windows/macOS/Linux), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, WebGL, and AR/VR (Meta Quest, HTC Vive, Magic Leap). We handle platform-specific optimisation, certification, and store submission for every target. Cross-platform builds from a single Unity codebase are our standard approach.
How do you handle Unity performance optimisation?+
Performance is reviewed at every milestone using the Unity Profiler. We set draw call budgets, memory ceilings, and frame time targets upfront based on your target platforms. Common techniques include batching, LOD systems, addressable assets, object pooling, and platform-specific shader variants. On mobile we target 60fps on mid-range devices as a baseline.
Do you build AR and VR games in Unity?+
Yes. We use Unity’s XR Interaction Toolkit and AR Foundation for AR and VR projects. Supported headsets include Meta Quest 2/3/Pro, HTC Vive, Valve Index, and Magic Leap. For mobile AR we work with ARKit (iOS) and ARCore (Android). We handle spatial interaction design, comfort optimisation, and platform certification.
How quickly can your Unity developers start?+
For staff augmentation, most Unity developers can be onboarded and contributing within 72 hours. For dedicated team engagements we typically need 5–7 days to complete team selection and setup. For fixed-price projects we begin the discovery phase within a week of contract signing.
