“It used to take 100+ person teams five years and $25M to deliver at this level. As an industry, tools like AWS and Unreal let us access artists and modelers around the world, in addition to the technology’s underlying services. This allows smaller game companies to produce AAA game content, and that’s exciting.”

Graeme Devine, Co-Founder QXR Studios

0dyssey Interactive, a Waterloo-based a game studio founded in 2020, was seeking a cost-effective solution to launch and scale their first game, Omega Strikers, an exciting three-on-three footbrawler built on Unreal Engine. With “battle-tested” AWS and UE solutions, 0dyssey Interactive was able to focus on making a good game instead of their backend infrastructure.

Red Barrels, an independent game studio based in Montreal, has been developing on Unreal Engine since the inception of the studio, but they needed a solution to manage game servers for their first multiplayer title, Outlast Trials. Red Barrels chose to use both UE and AWS due to the power and flexibility both technologies bring to the game development process.

Behaviour Interactive, one of the largest game studios in Canada, has grown Dead by Daylight, its award-winning asymmetrical multiplayer horror game, to over 50 million players since it first launched in 2016. With Unreal Engine and AWS, the studio is able to create high-fidelity game experiences that they can confidently scale to millions of players.
