Why Eastern Europe?
Typical rates in Bulgaria
Competitive, lower-to-middle of market rates
Studios in Bulgaria are known for solid quality at competitive rates, usually the lower-to-middle of the published ranges. Entry-level 2D art commonly runs $25-40/hour and mid-range programming around $60-120/hour, while senior specialists still reach the top bands for demanding work. Across the market, hourly rates run roughly $25-150 for 2D art, $30-200 for 3D art, $35-250 for programming, and $30-200 for audio, moving up with seniority. Bulgaria is a common middle ground: cheaper than North America or Western Europe, with a stronger game-dev tradition and easier collaboration than the lowest-cost markets. English proficiency and cultural alignment with Western clients are generally good.
These are general market ranges, not quoted studio rates. For a full breakdown by service and seniority, see the game outsourcing cost guide. Need a specific engine? Compare Unity and Unreal Engine studios.
