About QLOC
QLOC is a video game development and services studio based in Warsaw, Poland, working with developers and publishers across the global games industry. Its work combines co-development, porting, remastering, quality assurance, localization and art production. The company serves AAA, AA and independent projects, supporting technical and creative work across PC, consoles, mobile and cloud platforms.
Development and production support
QLOC's engineering services cover platform conversions, graphics and engine optimization, co-development and complete game versions for individual platforms. Its teams also undertake remastering and technical rescue assignments. Supported platforms include PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch alongside PC, mobile and streaming environments.
The studio's project history includes remastering and co-development on Dark Souls Remastered, PC development and porting for Mortal Kombat, and contributions to Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. Other reported assignments include co-development and localization for LEGO Horizon Adventures, quality assurance for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and environment art for Frostpunk 2. These projects reflect distinct contributions across engineering, testing, localization and visual production.
Testing, localization and art
Quality assurance services include functional testing, platform compliance, hardware and operating-system compatibility, and localization QA. Localization work spans more than 45 languages and includes translation, culturalization, subtitles, voice casting and recording, dubbing, localization engineering and vendor management. These services support both the linguistic content of games and its integration into production.
Art production encompasses concept work, 2D assets, photorealistic 3D characters and environments, modeling, textures, trailers and promotional game assets. This gives the studio a role in both game content creation and supporting visual materials.
QLOC became an independent company in 2009 after developing from Cenega's internal localization and testing team. It subsequently expanded beyond those initial disciplines into broader technical and creative production. The company operates across Poland and Ukraine and belongs to the Fulqrum corporate group, whose ownership passed to Tencent through the acquisition of 1C Entertainment completed in 2022.
