SDLC Corp is a PC game development company for studios, publishers and founders. Our teams build desktop games in Unreal Engine 5 and Unity. After that, we ship them to Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG as part of our wider game development services.
Featured PC Game Builds
Built and Tested for PC Hardware
These are real projects from our game team. Each one shows skills that carry over to PC games, such as VR, live game systems and real-time multiplayer.
To launch its 5G network, Orange Jordan needed a game that would draw crowds. So we built a Unity penalty-shootout game for Meta Quest Pro and HTC Vive headsets. As a result, a new player started roughly every 90 seconds at the event kiosk.
This reference build combines tile matching, boosters, daily rewards and optional in-app purchases. In addition, analytics events track retention and level difficulty. Because Unity also exports to Windows, the same codebase can take a casual puzzle game to Steam.
This Unity game includes matchmaking, private rooms, timed turns and server-validated moves. Moreover, every match restores its full state when a player reconnects. Our PC multiplayer games use this same server model.
Ready to Build Your Next PC Game?
Hire us for a complete desktop game or for one stage of it. Either way, each of our PC game development services has a clear scope and deliverable list. That way, you always know what the next milestone brings.
One accountable team runs concept, game design document, art, engineering, QA and store launch. Meanwhile, you review a playable build at every milestone.
First, we set up Steamworks with achievements, Steam Cloud saves and Steam Input, along with store page assets. Then the same codebase ships to the Epic Games Store and GOG.
Unity fits indie, 2D and cross-platform games. For high-fidelity 3D worlds with Nanite and Lumen, however, our Unreal Engine game development team leads the build.
Our multiplayer stack covers dedicated servers on AWS, Photon Fusion netcode, matchmaking and Easy Anti-Cheat. Before launch, we also load-test servers against your expected peak player count.
Artists build characters, environments and cutscenes in Blender, Maya and Substance Painter, sized for PC texture budgets. For high-fidelity titles, our AAA game art team leads the work, while stylised indie projects use our 2D game development team.
After launch, we ship crash fixes, performance patches and new content. In addition, crash reports arrive grouped by GPU and driver, so every fix moves faster.
Here is what you get from a studio that runs the whole PC pipeline. Behind every build, our 3D game development practice adds engine, art and optimisation depth.
Choose a full build, help with a single stage, or dedicated developers inside your sprints. Later, you can switch models between milestones.
Every milestone ends with a build you can play, plus a short note on scope, risks and frame-rate targets. As a result, you can test progress yourself.
Input, UI and save systems are structured so a later console or mobile release needs less rework. When that time comes, our cross-platform game development team handles those builds.
Once we review your game design document, you get a quote split by stage, role and feature. Therefore, you can see the cost of every feature before you commit.
Offices in the US, UK, UAE, India and Qatar overlap with your working day. Consequently, you get answers during your own business hours.
An NDA is signed before you share your concept, build or source code. In short, your idea stays protected from the first call.
Each genre puts different demands on hardware, input and servers. For that reason, we plan those needs in the game design phase, before production starts.
We build third-person combat, traversal and cinematic cutscenes. In addition, each scene is tuned to hold 60 fps on mid-range graphics cards.
Quest systems, dialogue trees, inventory and save data must stay stable across long campaigns. Therefore, we design them to survive patches and expansions.
Pathfinding handles large unit counts, while a readable mouse-driven UI keeps complex systems clear. We also add mod support for long-running communities.
Competitive play depends on low-latency netcode and server-side hit checks. On top of that, we add anti-cheat and support for high-refresh monitors.
Smaller scopes allow fast iteration. To keep costs down, most of these games go through our Unity game development team, guided by our casual and board game experience.
SteamVR and Meta Quest Link titles include comfort settings for seated and room-scale play. Our VR game development team builds each one.
Unreal Engine and Unity drive gameplay, while Photon and AWS power multiplayer. Meanwhile, Blender, Maya and Spine cover art. In every project, we pick each tool to match your genre and target hardware.

EthereumAn indie single-player PC game usually takes 4 to 6 months from kickoff to launch. Along the way, every sprint ends with a playable build you can test.
First, we lock the genre, target hardware, engine and store list. Next, both teams agree on milestones, team size and a delivery plan.
Our designers write the game design document, covering mechanics, levels, UI and technical specs. At the same time, they study the top Steam games in your genre.
A playable prototype tests the core loop on target hardware. That way, design problems surface before full production starts.
Art, gameplay, networking, save systems and store SDKs come together in two-week sprints. Each sprint also includes a frame-rate check.
Testers run hardware compatibility checks, multiplayer load tests and a minimum-spec PC pass. All of this happens before store submission.
Because Steam's store review takes several business days, we submit at least a week before launch. After release, patches and updates follow on a regular schedule.
Share your concept or current build. Within one business day, we reply with a scope, an engine recommendation and a cost range.

Our game porting services bring mobile and console titles to Windows PCs. To plan testing, we build the hardware matrix around the graphics cards, resolutions and operating systems that PC players actually use.
We replace console prompts, add keyboard and mouse controls and rebuild menus for desktop screens. For the reverse move, our console game development team ports PC games to PS5, Xbox and Switch.
Touch controls become keyboard, mouse and controller input. Next, the UI is rescaled for widescreen monitors and textures are upgraded for larger displays. Meanwhile, our mobile game development team keeps the original build intact.
Engineers profile CPU and GPU load with Unreal Insights, the Unity Profiler and RenderDoc. Then they fix frame-time spikes, memory leaks and long load times.
Testing covers NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics on Windows 10 and 11. Since 1080p is still the most common PC resolution, we tune it first and then move to 1440p, 4K and ultrawide.
Players get full key rebinding, Xbox and PlayStation controller support and correct button prompts through Steam Input. In addition, Steam Deck gets its own test pass.
Quality presets, NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR upscaling and level-of-detail tuning work together. As a result, both entry-level and high-end PCs hold a steady frame rate.
PC game development usually costs between $15,000 and $200,000+. However, the final figure depends on scope, art style, multiplayer needs and target hardware. The ranges below show typical budgets and timelines, so you can plan before a detailed quote.
| Project Type | What It Includes | Typical Timeline | Indicative Budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small 2D Indie Game | Single-player game in Unity with 2D art and a Steam release | 4–6 months | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Mid-Size 3D Single-Player Game | 3D art, save systems, controller support and Steam, Epic and GOG builds | 6–9 months | $40,000 – $100,000 |
| Multiplayer PC Game | Dedicated servers, matchmaking, anti-cheat and load testing | 8–14 months | $80,000 – $200,000 |
| High-Fidelity Unreal Engine 5 Game | Large 3D worlds with Nanite and Lumen, plus cinematic content | 12+ months | $200,000+ |
| Porting an Existing Game to PC | Keyboard and mouse input, UI rescaling, graphics settings and hardware testing | 2–4 months | $10,000 – $50,000 |
These ranges are indicative only. After we review your game design document, you receive a quote split by stage, role and feature.
Get Your PC Game EstimateWe work with indie teams, AAA studios and publishers worldwide. Some hire us to build a whole game. Others, by contrast, use PC game development outsourcing for a single stage.
Original concepts become polished PC titles through rapid prototyping, full-cycle development and Steam launch support.
For AAA studios, we provide co-development, multiplayer systems, performance work and LiveOps. Studios can also hire game developers to join their sprints.
Publishers get launch-ready PC games that meet each store's technical rules. After release, regular patches keep those games stable.
Founders can test an idea with a playable prototype first. Once the core loop works, the prototype grows into a full PC release.
Entertainment companies and IP owners use branded PC games to reach fans. These range from story-led adventures to event tie-ins.
Share your requirements, timeline, existing build or game concept. Then we review it and recommend the right scope, team structure and engine.
No sales pressure. We reply with realistic scope and delivery recommendations.
Here are answers to the questions studios, publishers and founders ask before starting a PC game project.
PC game development usually costs between $15,000 and $200,000+. A small 2D indie game sits at the low end. By contrast, multiplayer games with dedicated servers and Unreal Engine 5 titles sit at the high end. The cost table above shows typical ranges, and after we review your game design document, you get a line-item quote.
A small indie PC game usually takes 4 to 6 months. Multiplayer, however, adds time for server work and load testing, and a large Unreal Engine 5 game often takes a year or more. Porting an existing game to PC is quicker, at roughly 2 to 4 months.
Unreal Engine 5 suits high-fidelity 3D games, because Nanite and Lumen handle detailed worlds and real-time lighting. Unity, on the other hand, fits indie, 2D and cross-platform games better. Either way, we confirm the engine during game design, based on your genre, hardware target and budget.
Yes. You can outsource the full game or hand us one stage, such as art, porting or QA. Alternatively, our Unity and Unreal developers can join your sprints, and many studios start small before expanding later.
Our QA team tests on NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics at resolutions from 1080p to 4K, on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. The test matrix follows real player hardware data. Steam Deck also gets its own pass for controls and text size.
Yes. Our game porting services start with a codebase review. Then we add keyboard and mouse controls and rescale the UI for desktop screens. Finally, the team builds a graphics settings menu and tests across our PC hardware matrix.
Yes. We handle Steamworks setup, store page assets, builds and submission for Steam, plus separate packages for the Epic Games Store and GOG. Note that Steam charges a $100 Steam Direct fee per game, which Valve returns once the game earns $1,000 in adjusted gross revenue.
Yes. After launch, we ship crash fixes, performance patches and content updates, and we monitor servers for multiplayer games. In addition, player reviews and crash reports help us decide what to fix first.
