About QUByte Interactive
QUByte Interactive is an independent Brazilian game developer, console publisher and technical porting specialist founded in São Paulo in 2009. Its work combines original game development with services that help independent developers bring their projects to consoles, PC and mobile platforms. Retro game preservation is another central part of its business, connecting older games with contemporary hardware and audiences.
The studio began by providing technical outsourcing and engineering services to clients in North America and Europe. In 2010, it moved into original mobile development with HTR High Tech Racing, a slot-car racing game that helped establish its own development catalogue. Between 2014 and 2016, its focus shifted toward consoles and PC. The 2016 release of 99Vidas – O Jogo, developed with the hosts of the Brazilian gaming podcast, marked an important step in its ability to develop, certify and self-publish console games.
Development and publishing
QUByte develops original intellectual property alongside co-development and work-for-hire projects. Its original games span racing, beat ’em ups, platformers and action-adventure, including the 2.5D science-fiction Metroidvania MARS 2120.
Its publishing operation grew from the technical and platform-access challenges facing Latin American independent developers. The studio supports console adaptation, platform certification, quality assurance, digital distribution and marketing. Its supported platforms include Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Physical editions are also supported through distribution partnerships.
Bringing classic games forward
The proprietary QUByte Emulation Engine (QEE) underpins the studio’s retro publishing work and its QUByte Classics label. This framework allows legacy games to reach modern platforms without requiring complete code rewrites. The wider catalogue includes modernized collections drawn from arcade fighting, shooting and racing games.
Across its original development, porting and publishing activities, QUByte combines game production with the engineering and release support needed to bring independent and classic titles to contemporary platforms.
