FAQ: game outsourcing in Philippines
Philippines tends to land at the cheaper end of the market. Entry-level 2D art often starts near $25-40/hour and mid-range programming around $60-120/hour, with senior specialists reaching the top global bands. Rates depend more on the studio's track record and the engine than on the country alone.
Not inherently. Plenty of studios here ship polished work at low rates. The real cost is communication overhead: larger timezone gaps and more review rounds. Vet the portfolio against your target style and ask for a small paid test before committing to a milestone.
2D art, 3D modeling, and well-specified programming tasks travel well to Philippines because the brief can be locked down up front. Work that needs constant back-and-forth, like live game design, is harder across a big timezone gap.
