Working-hour overlap with Poland
Assuming a 09:00-18:00 working day on both sides. Ranges reflect daylight saving, which the two sides do not always shift on the same dates.
Three hours: 15:00-18:00 CET is 09:00-12:00 ET. Enough for a daily sync, not enough for a shared working session.
A full shared workday with Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. Eight hours with the UK.
Why this matters more than the hourly rate: how overlap hours decide the pace of a project.
What the Poland outsourcing market actually looks like
Poland is an Unreal-first market. 19 of its 22 listed studios work in Unreal against 15 in Unity, one of the highest Unreal shares of any large cohort in this directory. If you are building a high-fidelity or console title in Unreal, this is a short path to a usable shortlist.
The service mix splits between art and engineering: 3D art and programming are the two most common services, each on about half the studios, with animation close behind. Polish studios show up on bounded asset packages and on full co-development engagements in roughly equal measure.
This is also the youngest of the large European cohorts. Its median founding year is 2017. Youth is not a quality signal on its own, but it does mean shipped-title histories vary. Ask for credits on titles comparable to yours rather than a general portfolio reel.
On cost, Poland is not the cheap option it was ten years ago. Rates have moved up with EU wage convergence and now sit closer to Western European levels than to the rest of Eastern Europe. What you get for that is a full European workday, EU contracting, and a deep Unreal bench.
Where Poland is strong
- An Unreal-first market: 19 of 22 studios list Unreal against 15 for Unity, one of the highest Unreal shares of any large cohort in this directory.
- Art and engineering in roughly equal measure. 3D art and programming are the two most common services (12 and 12 of 22), with animation next (10).
- A full shared workday with the rest of Western and Central Europe, which suits daily review cycles on high-fidelity art.
What to watch for
- No longer a low-cost market. Polish rates have converged toward Western European levels as EU wages have risen.
- Unity coverage is thinner than Unreal. For mobile and casual work, check the specific studio rather than assuming.
- The youngest of the large European cohorts, so shipped-title histories vary a lot between studios. Its median founding year is 2017.
- Three hours of daily overlap with US Eastern, all in the Polish late afternoon.
Engine mix: Unreal leads Unity 19 to 15. Poland is one of the clearest Unreal-first markets in the directory.

Typical rates in Poland
Competitive, lower-to-middle of market rates
Studios in Poland 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. Poland 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.
