How long does a console port take?
Most console ports take 3 to 6 months from kickoff to release: a short onboarding phase, then 8 to 20 weeks of active porting and optimisation, followed by 2 to 4 weeks of certification. You get an exact timeline in your free estimate within 3 business days.
How much does a console port cost?
With Lynci, our fixed-price porting model, a port to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, WinGDK and Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 is priced in fixed tiers for indie, premium indie and AA games. Portfolios and AA+/AAA projects are priced individually. The price is confirmed after a free technical review and billed per milestone - no hourly surprises.
Do you handle console certification?
Yes. We manage TRC, Xbox certification and Lotcheck submissions end to end and coordinate with platform holders directly. If a build doesn't pass, we fix and resubmit it at no extra cost until it's approved.
Can you port a Godot game to consoles?
Yes. We port Unity, Unreal, Godot and custom-engine games, and we are one of very few studios globally that ship Godot games on consoles.
What happens after the console release?
Bug fixes, patches and platform updates are covered for 3 months after release, at no extra cost. It's written into every contract.
