Nine Pixels engineers visually stunning, technically ambitious games using Unreal Engine 5. Lumen, Nanite, MetaHuman, and the full UE5 toolset across PC, console, mobile, and VR.
The full spectrum of UE5 development, from concept through to certified, shipped title.
Full-cycle UE5 game development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. We use the full UE5 feature set - Lumen, Nanite, Chaos physics, and MetaHuman - to deliver visually polished, technically solid titles.
High-quality mobile games built in Unreal with the Mobile Renderer, optimised for iOS and Android without sacrificing visual ambition. We profile aggressively and use scalable quality settings to hit 60fps on mid-range devices.
Immersive VR experiences for Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and PC VR headsets using UE5’s XR framework. We design comfortable spatial interactions, optimise for VR performance requirements, and handle all platform certification.
Scalable multiplayer architecture using Unreal’s replication framework, dedicated server deployment, and Epic Online Services (EOS). We’ve built real-time multiplayer games for PC and console with hundreds of concurrent players.
Niagara particle systems, Shader Graph materials, PCG procedural generation, and Sequencer cinematics. We bridge the gap between art and engineering, delivering visual effects and environments that are both stunning and performant.
Porting existing UE4 projects to UE5, or migrating games from Unity to Unreal. We handle the full conversion including render pipeline updates, physics system migration, and performance re-profiling for the new engine version.
150+ mobile games shipped across every major genre. We know what each one demands technically, creatively, and commercially.

Simple mechanics, addictive loops, maximum virality. We engineer hyper-casual titles optimised for Day 1 retention and ad monetisation, built fast, launched fast, scaled fast. Our hyper-casual games average top-20 chart positions within 30 days of launch.

Match-3, logic, physics, and word puzzles engineered for maximum D30 retention. We design level progressions, difficulty curves, booster systems, and IAP catalogues that keep players engaged through hundreds of levels.

Fast-paced combat, tight controls, and satisfying feedback loops. Frame-perfect input handling, fluid animation state machines, and enemy AI that creates genuine challenge without frustrating players.

Base-building, tower defence, turn-based, and 4X strategy for mobile. Deep meta-game systems, clan mechanics, and resource economies that create long-term engagement and high LTV.

Arcade racers, realistic simulations, and kart games. Vehicle physics, procedural track systems, and PvP league structures with real-time and async multiplayer modes.

City builders, tycoons, life simulators, and management games. Complex interdependent systems that feel alive and satisfying to master, with progression hooks that drive both engagement and monetisation.

Football, cricket, basketball including fully licensed titles. Authentic physics simulations, career modes, live match events, and multiplayer leagues that rival console-quality on mobile.

K-12 learning games, language apps, and skill-building tools built with genuine pedagogical frameworks. Game mechanics that reinforce the learning objective with full COPPA compliance.

Narrative-driven experiences, exploration, hidden object, and point-and-click adventures. Branching story systems, environmental storytelling, and inventory mechanics that immerse players in worlds they want to stay in.
Choose the model that fits your project, timeline, and budget, or let us recommend the right one.
Locked scope, locked budget. Ideal for well-defined projects where you need predictable costs. Milestones are documented and agreed before a line of code is written.
Learn MoreA full cross-functional team, developers, artists, QA, and PM, working exclusively on your game. Scale up or down as your project evolves.
Learn MoreEmbed Nine Pixels specialists into your existing studio. Fill skill gaps, hit a deadline, or scale a team, developers plugged in within days, not months.
Learn MoreTrue partnership, shared sprint planning, feature ownership, and accountability across design, engineering, and art. Your team and ours, one roadmap.
Learn MoreUE5 expertise that goes beyond surface-level engine knowledge.
Our Unreal developers work at engine level, extending the editor, writing custom rendering passes, and modifying C++ engine code when needed. We don’t just use UE5; we understand it.
AAA visuals require AAA performance engineering. We profile every milestone with Unreal Insights, set GPU budget targets upfront, and treat frame time as a hard deliverable, not a best-effort target.
We hold active developer licences with Sony and Microsoft and have direct experience navigating PlayStation and Xbox certification for UE5 titles. We build to cert requirements from day one.
UE5 engineers, technical artists, environment artists, character artists, and QA, all Unreal-fluent and available under one engagement. No vendor coordination, no finger-pointing, one accountable team.
A structured pipeline refined across dozens of Unreal projects.
Engine version selection, render pipeline choice, GPU budget planning, World Partition strategy, and asset pipeline setup before a line of gameplay code is written.
A playable vertical slice with representative visuals and core gameplay. Used to validate performance targets, visual direction, and technical approach before full production.
Two-week agile sprints with playable builds and GPU profiling every cycle. Direct team access, shared Perforce or Git repository, and transparent milestone tracking.
Unreal Insights profiling, draw call and memory optimisation, full platform QA across all targets, and certification requirement validation before submission.
Platform certification management for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Store submission, day-one patches, and post-launch support included as standard.
The full UE5 toolset and supporting technologies we use on every project.
