DUNDEE, SCOTLAND – YoYo Games is expanding the ways in which professional developers can get their hands on one of the world’s leading 2D game engines, GameMaker Studio 2. The engine is now available as a console-only license and an all-in-one Ultimate license. Both the Console and Ultimate versions require users to be officially registered developers on all platforms for which they wish to use GameMaker Studio 2.

Console

Developers also now have the option to purchase a console-only license, which includes:

• A straightforward way to access powerful development tools for either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One
• Provides the exact same game-engine functionality as the Ultimate version
• Can be purchased for $799.99 per seat for a one-year license

Ultimate

Videogame developers looking for a one-stop-shop route can now purchase the GameMaker Studio 2 Ultimate license, which allows:

“YoYo Games is a huge proponent of spreading the joy of game development to as many people as possible, as efficiently as possible,” said James Cox, General Manager of YoYo Games. “Based on our experience, one of the best ways to do this is by giving our users many options for purchasing a game engine, each tailored for a certain situation – the Console and Ultimate versions help do exactly that.”
