Create Next-Level Games with an Outsourced Game Designer
Bringing a game to life takes more than just a good idea. It requires creativity, design expertise, and technical precision that often stretches in-house teams.
Between tight deadlines, complex mechanics, and the need for visually stunning experiences, finding and managing the best creators and experts can be tough.
That’s why many studios and developers are turning to outsourcing. It’s a smart, cost-effective way to access world-class game designers without the burden of high overheads.
At Outsourced Staff, we connect businesses with experienced game designers who understand both art and technology. These game designers will collaborate with your internal team (or directly with you) to craft engaging gameplay, intuitive user experiences, and eye-catching visuals that capture audiences and keep them playing.
Whether you’re developing mobile, PC, or console games, our designers help you scale your creative production efficiently and affordably.
Game development is a $187.7 billion global market. Don’t let recruitment burnout claim your slice.
When you partner with a specialist firm, you instantly access a global reservoir of specialised skills that live and breathe player experience and system design.
You eliminate the cost, time, and risk of a flawed local hire. No more paying for sick leave, superannuation, or setting up new workstations. You convert a massive, unpredictable fixed cost into a flexible, predictable operating expense.
This flexibility allows your studio to scale up fast during crunch periods or ramp down efficiently after a major launch, protecting your all-important bottom line.
The best studios are defined by speed and adaptability. Outsourcing your game designer roles delivers on both fronts. You’d be both saving money and buying back time.
Outsourced Staff can handle the entire recruitment, HR, and payroll process. While your in-house leaders can focus purely on the creative vision and core development instead of getting bogged down by team management.
This rapid scaling capability drastically reduces your time-to-market, ensuring you release your game while the market is hot, not when it’s saturated.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a game designer do?
A game designer creates the core vision, gameplay mechanics, and user experience of a game. They design levels, balance gameplay, and work with artists and developers to bring the concept to life.
What specific skills can an outsourced game designer bring to my project?
A dedicated outsourced game designer is the creative and technical backbone of your title. They handle the vision for the player experience. This includes creating detailed game design documents (GDDs), balancing complex gameplay systems (like combat, economy, and progression), designing intricate levels and missions, and defining the core mechanics that make your game fun.
By outsourcing game designers, you get access to niche skills, like an expert in mobile free-to-play monetisation or an Unreal Engine Blueprints specialist, that you might struggle to find locally.
Is it possible for a remote game designer to manage the full development lifecycle?
Absolutely. A remote game designer can effectively manage the full design lifecycle from pre-production concepting right through to post-launch updates. In fact, today’s leading game studios rely on digital collaboration tools like Jira, Trello, and Discord for seamless communication and project management.
Your outsourced game designer integrates directly into your existing workflow, attending daily stand-ups and using these tools to document design changes, liaise with programmers and artists, and drive the creative vision forward, no matter where they are located.
At Outsourced Staff, we ensure your team operates as a single, cohesive unit.
How do you ensure the quality and security of my Intellectual Property (IP) with a remote team?
Protecting your IP is paramount. Outsourced Staff only partners with highly vetted remote game designer candidates who operate under strict and robust employment contracts.
We focus on building a dedicated, long-term team for you, which significantly increases accountability and safeguards your valuable assets more effectively than using temporary freelancers.
What is the biggest advantage of outsourcing game design over a traditional local hire?
The single biggest advantage is scalability and speed-to-market. With our outsourcing model, you can often have a pre-vetted, highly skilled professional integrated into your team within weeks.
This ability to instantly scale your design capacity is critical in the fast-paced games industry, allowing you to hit aggressive development milestones and release your project faster than your competitors.
