Elite Gaming Developers Who Hit the Ground Running

Platforms may give you access to a list of freelancers — but you’re on the hook for vetting, onboarding, and keeping them engaged. X-Team provides:

•  Fully committed, pre-vetted developers
•  Developers who integrate into your stack, rituals, and tools
•  Long-term talent with strong security awareness

Game development agencies are typically designed to deliver a finished feature or product. They’re great when you need an external team to own a scoped build. But if you’re looking to expand your internal team with long-term, embedded talent — that’s where X-Team comes in.

•  You stay in control. We give you the developers — you manage the work.
•  You scale as needed. Start with one engineer or build out a full squad.
•  You get continuity. Our developers stick with your team as your product evolves.

We’re not here to replace your studio. We’re here to help you scale it.

You do. All code, systems, and assets developed by X-Teamers while working on your project belong entirely to you as long as payment is current.

Unlike some agencies that may retain rights to tools or components, X-Team operates under clean, straightforward IP agreements:

•  You own everything your developers create.
•  No reused libraries or toolkits unless you approve them.
•  All contracts include work-for-hire and IP assignment clauses to protect your product and roadmap.

Your game, your code, your IP.

In many cases, we can match you with a single developer within a few weeks. Larger teams take longer, depending on the skill sets and number of engineers required. 

Yes. We match developers based on your tech requirements, whether you're building in Unity, Unreal, or a proprietary engine. Our developers have experience with C++, C#, networking stacks, backend infrastructure, live ops systems, and more.

X-Team developers follow your rituals from day one — whether that’s daily standups, code reviews, playtests, or sprint planning. They use your tools and collaborate with your in-house team like any other full-time contributor.

If a developer isn’t working out, we’ll resolve the issue quickly — whether that means addressing the problem directly or replacing the developer. Our goal is long-term cultural fit, not just fast placement.

Our model is built for async-first work, but we also prioritize overlap with your core working hours. We’ll match you with developers who can collaborate in real time where it matters, while staying productive around the clock.

Yes. We look for strong communication and collaboration skills — not just technical ability. Our developers know how to work cross-functionally with creative and production teams to bring great ideas to life.

We align with your existing code quality practices — including peer reviews, testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation standards. On the security side, all developers use secure, company-issued devices and follow best practices around credentials, code access, and IP handling.

Yes. X-Team manages the full operational layer so you can scale globally without the legal or logistical friction.

•  We handle onboarding, contracts, NDAs, and background checks.
•  We ensure every developer is properly classified and compliant in their country of residence.
•  You receive a single, simple invoice — no paperwork overload, no surprises.

No matter where your developer calls home, you get peace of mind knowing everything’s covered — legally, securely, and by the book.

We’ll sign an MSA that covers the terms of our work together. After that, our minimum engagement for a contracted scope of work is 3 months.
