WHAT WE HANDLE
You don't have to do it alone.
Porting & Platform Integration
PS4 and PS5 builds, platform SDK integration, save data, and lifecycle handling done to Sony's technical requirements.
Trophies & Controller UX
Trophy set design and implementation, DualSense features where relevant, and console-appropriate UI adaptation.
QA & Certification
Pre-cert QA passes, TRC / cert-blocker resolution, and management of the full submission cycle with SIE.
Store, Ratings & Localisation
PlayStation Store page preparation, IARC / regional age ratings, and localisation coordination for target regions.
Release, Pricing & Promotions
Launch scheduling, regional pricing, and ongoing discount and promotional slot management.
Post-launch Patches & Support
Patch cycles, live-ops fixes, and reporting handled under the publishing agreement so you can focus on the next title.
Scope is agreed per project. If you only need help with certain parts (e.g. cert and release), we can scope to that.

Why Orca
A focused PlayStation partner, not a generalist agency.
PlayStation-focused
We concentrate on PlayStation releases rather than trying to cover every platform and service.
Developer-to-developer
Orca Games develops games as well as publishing them, so we understand the practical constraints facing small teams.
Direct communication
Work directly with the people responsible for evaluating, preparing, and releasing your game.
Transparent partnership
Responsibilities, costs, revenue sharing, and ownership are defined clearly before work begins.
Aligned incentives
We get paid when you get paid. No upfront fees or recoupment terms means our success is tied to yours.
Appropriate scope
We specialise in projects where a focused publishing partner can provide meaningful technical and commercial value.
You can also register directly with the PlayStation Partners programme. Our value is running the technical, administrative, and commercial workload so a small team doesn't have to learn and operate the entire PlayStation release process alone.
