Insights for the next generation of games and gamers

Gaming is constantly changing and evolving.
So are its users.

Understand gamers, design for the future

We work with a broad range of gamer audiences to understand their behaviours, motivations, needs and experiences. Ultimately, what is shaping and influencing gamer behaviour in relation to what they play, how and when they play, and what shapes their purchase behaviours for games and gaming technologies.

Build, test and launch with confidence

From early-stage concepts, playtesting, pre-launch marketing assets and post-launch evaluation, research ensures that your game, hardware or service is tested for success.
