Pixel Bowl Studio

Pixel Bowl Studio is an independent video game quality assurance and co-development company founded in Bucharest in 2019. It supports developers and publishers across PC, console, mobile and virtual reality, combining testing with engineering and production support throughout development and after launch.

Testing throughout development

The studio provides functional testing, regression testing and feature validation, alongside embedded DevQA that integrates QA analysts into client development cycles. Its console services cover compliance checks and certification or submission support for PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Localization QA, usability testing and qualitative and quantitative playtesting extend its work beyond identifying functional defects.

An in-house hardware laboratory supports compatibility and performance testing across PC and mobile configurations. The team uses this equipment to assess performance, frame rates and hardware compatibility under real-world conditions, including testing across iOS, Android and Amazon devices. Its platform coverage also includes PC distribution environments such as Steam and Epic Games.

Engineering and ongoing support

Pixel Bowl Studio offers Unity co-development, including gameplay and interface implementation, bug fixing, pipeline integration, porting and optimization. These engineering services complement its QA work, allowing the studio to contribute directly to development as well as validate builds and features.

For live-service projects, it provides post-launch verification, issue escalation and production support. Its offering includes round-the-clock player-support escalation and project management, alongside consultancy, user experience research and test automation.

The company’s portfolio includes QA and support contributions to games such as Dune: Awakening, Hell Let Loose, Conan Exiles and Metal: Hellsinger. Its work also spans smaller productions and independent games. From its Romanian base, Pixel Bowl Studio has extended its international presence through a branch in Dublin.
