Unity Game Development Company UAE
Expert software development services in Dubai, UAE — delivered by Proud Lion Studios. Trusted by startups and enterprises across the Middle East and globally.
Proud Lion Studios is a Unity game development company in the UAE. Our Dubai studio designs, builds and ships Unity games for iOS, Android, PC and Web3, from the first playable prototype to launch and live operations.
We have shipped Unity games of our own, including Jungle Run, an endless runner with NFT avatars and keyless login, and Lionverse, a 3D Web3 world. That experience shapes how we work with clients: we prototype the core loop early so you can play it, profile performance on real mid-range phones, and plan monetisation and live ops before launch, not after.
Our in-house artists produce characters, environments, animation and UI, so art and code move together in the same sprints. When your game needs blockchain features such as NFT items or token rewards, we add them without making players deal with seed phrases or gas fees.

More questions
How much does it cost to make a Unity game in Dubai?
It depends on scope. A playable prototype takes about 3 to 6 weeks, a casual mobile game about 2 to 4 months, at our rate of USD 30 to 45 per hour. We give a fixed quote after discovery.
Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. Unity lets us ship one codebase to both, and we handle submission to the App Store and Google Play.
Can you add multiplayer to our game?
Yes. We build real-time and turn-based multiplayer with matchmaking, lobbies and the backend to support it.
Can you work on an existing Unity project?
Yes. We regularly take over, optimise and extend existing Unity codebases.
Should we use Unity or Unreal?
Unity is usually the better fit for mobile and cross-platform games; Unreal suits high-end PC and console visuals, which is why we built HORIZON in Unreal Engine 5.
