Companion Group

Companion Group is a game development studio founded in 2022 and headquartered in London, operating as a fully remote, employee-owned collective. The company works with AAA studios on multiplayer titles, embedding its senior specialists directly into client teams. Its people are spread across the Americas and Europe, and the firm's structure is designed around transparent communication and collaborative working practices.

The studio's work concentrates on multiplayer game development and co-development, with an emphasis on scalability and player density. Alongside this, it provides backend online services and integration for multiplayer titles, gameplay programming delivered by senior specialists, and cloud infrastructure solutions - scalable cloud architecture design and implementation spanning the full development lifecycle. Technical work includes custom network stacks, scalable cloud architectures, and live-service support and optimisation, with Unreal Engine among the tools in use.

Companion Group serves the AAA game development, multiplayer gaming and live-service segments. As an employee-owned business that is remote by default, it offers engineers the opportunity to work on multiplayer and online-services problems across the Americas and Europe without relocating.
