The cost of hiring a game development company in the UK varies significantly based on project complexity, platform, and scope. Simple mobile games typically range from £20,000-£50,000, while mid-tier games with more features and polish can cost £50,000-£150,000. AAA-quality or complex games with advanced features may exceed £150,000. Factors affecting pricing include game mechanics complexity, art style, multiplayer functionality, and post-launch support requirements.
Most UK development companies offer flexible pricing models including fixed-price contracts, hourly rates (£50-150/hour depending on specialization), or milestone-based payment structures to accommodate different budget constraints.
