Why AAA Studios Hire Brazilian Game Outsourcing Studios?

Brazil is already part of AA and AAA development, players don’t see it, but outsourcing is deeply embedded in AAA production. Brazilian studios have contributed to global titles, like Fortnite, League of Legends, Dungeon Defenders II, Dead Island 2, Horizon Forbidden West, and others.



Brazil is becoming more structured as a gaming market and is shifting from an emerging to a strategic market.

  • Advancing regulatory discussions for the game industry

  • Public incentives and funding programs increasing

  • Strong support from Abragames

  • Export initiatives like Brazil Games


Industry Growth: Brazil has a mature ecosystem powered by Latin America’s largest gaming market and 100M+ players. In 2014, we had around 133 game studios. In 2023, this number grew to more than 1k game studios.


Specialized Talent: Brazil has adaptable and multidisciplinary talent. Teams are generalist and flexible, making them ideal for iterative development. Brazil stands out in Mobile Development, Live Ops, Animation, Engineering, 2D/3D Art, and QA.


Time Zone & Cultural Fit: Brazil has a familiarity with global trends and references from other cultures, plus the same gameplay expectations. There is a small time difference with the US, so daily synchronous collaboration is easier.



So... why Brazil?

  • Cost efficiency (yes)

  • Skilled and adaptable talent

  • Strong communication

  • Creative edge

  • Growing ecosystem

  • Cultural knowleadge



Brazil is not just a cheaper option, It’s a smarter one.
