We Bring a Plan, Not a Task List
Every LiveOps update starts from evidence. We arrive with a proposal and the reasoning behind it, so the conversation is about what to cut rather than what to do.
- 01
Diagnose
We find out why players leave, segment by segment, before we decide what to build.
- 02
Build
We invest in reusable systems, so every season costs less and does more.
- 03
Ship
We release on a steady cadence your players can feel. You decide what goes live.
Your Next Season Starts With 1 Conversation
Your team builds the next game while ours keeps the current one shipping. Our game LiveOps services put the engineers, producers and tools in place from day one. You see every hour we log and decide what goes live.
Tell us the game and the budget band you are working with, and we will come back with the exact team, the people-months and what each person would own.

Game LiveOps Services FAQ
Game LiveOps services are the work of running a live game after launch: events, tuning, updates and store releases. At Devoted, engineers and LiveOps producers do it as one team, so changes go live without a handover.
Yes, that is the usual starting point. We map your current build, backend and release calendar first, then take the next season while your team keeps shipping. The first milestone starts before the current one closes, so the calendar never goes quiet during the handover.
The earlier, the better. Involving us from the concept stage lets us help with technical planning, scope definition, and production strategy. That said, we can also join mid-project and quickly integrate with your team.
No. Tuning, event schedules and store content are driven by remote config on the server, so they change without a client build and without store review. App store releases stay for client features, not for running the season.
We come with a proposal and the reasoning behind it, so the conversation is about what to cut rather than what to build. Event design, balance, economy and progression sit with our LiveOps producers and designers, and you approve what goes live.
Hiring means months to recruit, onboard and ramp. We reach full cadence in weeks, staff and backfill the team ourselves, scale up for seasonal peaks and bring specialists in when needed. You keep product vision, IP approval and the final say.
Yes. Our engineers and LiveOps producers work as 1 team, so integration with your backend, your analytics and your build pipeline is part of the engagement rather than a separate project. We work in Unity, Unreal and proprietary engines.
Every hour is logged against a JIRA task, so you can see where the time went on any day. You also get a weekly status covering what shipped, what is late and why, and whether the calendar is on track or at risk.
Every event ships with a KPI attached and a readout after it ends. We set baselines before the first season, segment the player base, and run split tests so the next event is decided on evidence rather than on opinion.
Store deadlines are scoped work with a date on the calendar, not a surprise. Live QA, device coverage, store submission and hotfixes are part of the engagement, so a platform change is absorbed into the plan instead of eating the next event.
We start by finding out why players leave, segment by segment, and we hand you a plan for the next 2 seasons. Then we build the reusable systems the calendar needs, so every season after that costs less and does more.
