The source audit at project start sets realistic expectations for timeline and cost before any development begins.
Game porting requires source-code audits, platform-specific optimisation, and console certification handling. Game-Ace delivers porting services covering platform migrations, engine conversions, and mobile cross-porting for games at any production scale, through full-cycle or co-development models. Ported builds and source materials transfer to the client at project close under NDA.

More than two decades in game development.
In-house production team across key disciplines.
Delivered across selected game genres.
Every porting engagement starts with a source code and asset audit. We assess the build's architecture, third-party dependencies, and art pipeline before committing to a timeline. This prevents mid-project scope surprises and produces a realistic porting plan with defined milestones. Games built on cross-platform engines port faster; custom or legacy engine builds are scoped with a realistic view of refactoring cost.
Console porting requires meeting platform holder technical requirements for Sony and Microsoft, beyond just making the game run. Our certification support covers TRC/TCR compliance checks, input and HUD requirements, and performance thresholds. Certification QA runs before submission to reduce rejection risk and submission cycle count.
Source code audit and certification support from a single team.
Platform porting at Game-Ace for a 2D game typically starts from €25,000. Complex 3D titles targeting a new platform range from €50,000–€120,000+ depending on source build quality and certification requirements. Engine migration and console porting projects are scoped after a source code audit, with cost driven by source complexity and platform compliance.

We review the source build, third-party dependencies, and asset pipeline to produce a realistic porting plan with defined milestones.
Target platform SDK setup, build configuration, and platform-specific API substitution begin before content porting.
Gameplay systems, UI, audio, and assets are adapted for the target platform's hardware constraints and input model.
Frame rate, memory, draw calls, and load times are profiled against target platform benchmarks and optimised to meet requirements.
Full regression and certification QA covers feature parity, platform compliance, and performance standards before submission.
Platform submission support is provided along with full source code, documentation, and IP transfer at project close.
The source audit at project start sets realistic expectations for timeline and cost before any development begins.
Our team delivers a fully ported, platform-compliant build with source code, certification documentation, and QA records transferred at project close, ready for store submission or platform holder review.
GSN Games is one of the global leaders in mobile social casino games.
Program-Ace and GSN Games have been working closely together on the development of several online games.
Game-Ace’s support was integral to the success of this project. Without them, the client wouldn’t have been able to complete the work on time.
They were responsive and their work was high quality – the client rarely had to share constructive criticism.
Game-Ace has successfully integrated with the in-house development team and has earned more responsibility as the engagement has prospered.
By quickly adapting to a sophisticated technology stack, they have helped to increase product quality and reduce an extensive task backlog.
