Its roles close in a median of 55 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed
Overview
Keywords Studios is an Irish company founded in 1998 that provides the outsourced services video game publishers need but rarely want to staff themselves, and it has grown into the largest such provider through more than sixty acquisitions. Its work covers game art and animation, co-development, functional and localisation testing, translation into dozens of languages, audio recording, player support and marketing services, delivered from studios across more than twenty countries. Headquartered in Dublin and taken private by EQT in 2024, it depends on the games industry's willingness to outsource, which makes publisher cost-cutting both an opportunity and a threat.

Player Support
Outsourced customer support and community management for live games. Live service games need round-the-clock support in many languages, which is impractical for all but the largest publishers to run alone.
keywordsstudios.com
Audio Services
Voice recording, casting and audio production across many languages. It requires studios, engineers and actor relationships in every market, which is precisely the kind of fixed cost publishers prefer to avoid.
keywordsstudios.com
Localisation and Testing
Translation into dozens of languages plus functional and compatibility testing. Both are essential to launching a game globally and neither justifies a permanent internal team at all but the largest studios.

Game Development Services
Co-development and full development work carried out alongside a publisher's own studios. It gives publishers capacity without permanent headcount, which matters in an industry with severe boom and bust cycles.
keywordsstudios.com
Art and Animation
Character, environment and animation production for game developers. Art is the largest and most labour-intensive cost in modern game production, which makes it the first thing a publisher looks to outsource.
