What was consistent for studios of all sizes though, was prioritizing post-launch support, as developers doubled down on extending the lifespan of their games by 33% to retain their existing player base for longer. Large studios drove year over year growth in multiplatform and cross-platform development, while the majority of smaller studios (90%) opted to develop for a single platform. Different sized studios were also strategic about platform investment. Most smaller studios shipped games in under twelve months and they did it while working fewer hours. Developers focused on efficiencies, optimization and post launch efforts.
