Game Porting Services

The term game porting is used when a video game that’s designed to run on a particular platform – an arcade, a personal computer or a video game console is converted to successfully run on another platform with minimal differences. During game porting, developers consider the technical capabilities and limitations of the new platforms or technologies and rules that allow the game to be certified in/by the corresponding stores.

A game can be prepared to release on various platforms either during the development stage or after it’s released on a particular platform. For instance, developers of successfull PC games often now expand their audiences by porting the games to consoles.
