Game App Development Company

A game app development company plans, designs, builds, and supports games for mobile devices and the web. The work covers game design, art and animation, gameplay programming, multiplayer backends, monetization, analytics, testing, and app store release. Xicom also handles porting, performance optimization, and live operations after launch.

Game app development cost depends on genre, 2D or 3D art, the amount of content at launch, multiplayer and backend needs, target platforms, and monetization features. A casual 2D game costs far less than a 3D multiplayer game with live events. We share a written estimate after a short scoping phase based on your game design.

A playable prototype of the core loop often takes a few weeks. A simple casual game can reach launch in a few months, while 3D, multiplayer, or content-heavy games take longer. We recommend a soft launch in selected markets first, because real player data shows what to fix before a global release.

Unity is a common choice for 2D and 3D mobile games because of its mobile tooling, asset ecosystem, and broad device support. Unreal Engine suits games that need high-end 3D visuals and can target more capable devices. Godot is a lightweight open-source option. We recommend an engine after reviewing your art style, team, and target devices.

Yes. We build real-time and turn-based multiplayer with matchmaking, leaderboards, friends, guilds, and chat, using services such as Photon, Nakama, or PlayFab, or a custom backend. Server-authoritative logic protects match results and in-game currency from cheating.

Common models include in-app purchases, rewarded and interstitial ads, subscriptions and battle passes, and paid downloads. Many games combine purchases with rewarded ads. We design the game economy and integrate store billing and ad mediation, with remote settings so you can change prices and offers without a new release.

A template can help test a simple idea quickly, but it limits originality, performance tuning, and the features you can add later. Custom game app development costs more upfront and gives you full control of design, code, and player data. We help you decide based on your goals and budget.

Yes. Apple and Google require games that sell randomized items to disclose the odds of receiving each item before purchase, and we build that disclosure into the in-game store. For games directed at children, we design data collection, ads, and purchases with COPPA and the app stores' kids and family policies in mind.

Yes. We port games between engines and platforms, fix crashes and memory issues, improve frame rates and load times, reduce app size, and update older projects to current SDK and app store requirements.

We provide both. Our team covers game design documents, concept art, 2D and 3D assets, animation, visual effects, UI and UX, and sound integration, so you can work with one partner from concept to launch. If you have your own artists, we build from their assets.

We offer Fixed Price for well-defined prototypes, Time and Material for evolving scopes, and Dedicated Team for long-term production and live ops. Many studios add dedicated mobile app developers as content and features grow. After launch we monitor crashes and player metrics, release updates and live events, and keep the game current with OS and app store changes.
