So, has everyone already shared their 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ stories?
Here’s the one you haven’t seen yet!

First off, a massive thanks to everyone - what a year this has been!

✋ High Five: We’re Five
Last year, we celebrated five years of PixelAnt Games - a journey that continues to be driven by our love for games, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

🛠️🤘 Back to Indie, Folks!
2025 also marked our bold new chapter for us, as we regained our studio's independence after several years as part of a larger group.
As an independent studio, we’re continuing our mission to be the go-to partner for co-development and porting.

🏋️ Ports That Push Limits
We broke new ground and took full ownership of our Nintendo Switch 2 ports - including certification process - and made sure our ports weren't compromises but true next-gen experiences, pushing systems to their caps. Hardware limits: politely ignored.

🏆 Shipping Polish, Not Promises
Despite sometimes tight schedules, we delivered our projects on time and within budget - proving that “fast” and “good” can go hand in hand. This let us bring great games to new platforms and audiences while building strong partnerships with top-tier studios.

2025? ☑️Shipped.
2026, we’re coming for you 💪
Stay tuned!

[PixelAnt Games @PixelAntGames]

May your end-of-year be full of proper rest, good people, and great games✨
Enjoy your out of office! 😉

It’s not every day that a partner calls you "great to collaborate with" in an interview 💬- but that’s how @BlooberTeam CEO Piotr Babieno described our work in his latest talk with XDA.

We worked closely with Bloober Team 🎮on Nintendo Switch 2 ports of @CronosNewDawn and @Layers_Of_Fears: The Final Masterpiece Edition, ensuring the ports weren’t just compromises but true next‑gen handheld experiences, and combining the strengths of both teams to push the hardware to its limits.
