Stepico Games

Company History

Stepico Games was launched in 2014 by co‑founders Nikola Pisetskyi and Andrii Titov. The company began delivering its first product that same year and has since scaled to employ over 200 specialists. Its headquarters remain in Lviv, Ukraine, while satellite offices in New York (USA) and Cyprus support global client relationships. The company is privately held and operates under the legal name Stepico Games Limited. It appears to be entirely self‑funded or bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding rounds.

Services and Platforms

Stepico’s core services are organised into two primary divisions: Development and Art. The Development division covers custom game development, mobile game development, Unity/Unreal programming, live operations, blockchain and NFT games, and dedicated teams. The Art division provides 2D art, 3D art, and game animation. The studio works across all major platforms and has particular expertise in building high‑fidelity, cross‑platform experiences. It also offers phase‑by‑phase development, allowing clients to outsource specific project elements. In recent years, Stepico has expanded into serious games and simulation, including defence‑sector training applications.

Clients and Partnerships

The company’s client list includes major names from the entertainment and gaming sectors, such as NBC Universal, Gameloft, Outplay Entertainment, Prey Studios, Immutable, Print Studios, Plarium, and Million Games. Stepico has also partnered with companies like Lekis AB and Limit Break, as highlighted in client testimonials on its website. The studio’s success is measured by its 65+ completed projects and long‑term relationships with repeat clients.

Leadership and Culture

Stepico’s leadership includes co‑founder Nikola Pisetskyi (now Strategic Advisor), CEO Andrii Titov, and CTO Petro Prots. The company is committed to Agile methodologies and maintains a policy of open communication, competitive salaries, professional development support, and remote/flexible working conditions. It has not disclosed any external funding rounds and appears to be entirely self‑funded. The company also participates in industry webinars (e.g., with IGEA Australia) discussing how game mechanics are applied to non‑entertainment fields such as adaptive training, AI, and XR.
