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.

Voodoo is a French mobile gaming and consumer applications company founded in 2013 that built its business on hyper-casual games, titles simple enough to understand in seconds and monetised almost entirely through advertising rather than purchases.

Headquartered in Paris and backed by Tencent and Goldman Sachs, it reports billions of downloads and is one of the largest mobile publishers in the world by install volume.
