2BYTES CORPORATION

About 2BYTES CORPORATION

2bytes Corporation is a South Korean company founded in 2020 by CEO Ham Young-chul that provides comprehensive support services for game developers and publishers to launch games globally. The company's name is a nod to the fact that a Korean character consists of two bytes in Unicode. It began with three members and has since grown significantly.

The firm offers a suite of services aimed at preparing games for international markets. These services include strategic consulting, localization and linguistic quality assurance (LQA), quality assurance (QA), live operations (Live Ops) with game master (GM) and multilingual customer support (CS) teams, content marketing, and community management. Additionally, 2bytes provides sound and voice-over production, with an in-house team to ensure scripts are natural and engaging. For partners seeking deeper collaboration, the company offers co-publishing services, which involve market analysis, strategy development, project management, and data-driven optimization to maximize a game's potential.

The company's business model is based on providing these specialized outsourcing services to its partners, helping them navigate the complexities of global launches across various platforms like mobile, Steam, and consoles. In November 2022, 2bytes secured $4.92M in a Series A venture capital funding round. The company has also established an in-house game development studio, Pentapeak Studios, which is currently developing its own titles.
