The newly formed DX Gameworks announced it’s launching as first video game publisher in Brazil that focuses on PC and console titles.
DX Gameworks is a service studio that offers a la carte development services, including design and training. The company is launching its publishing initiative with support from Xbox Brasil and investment from Bertha Capital.
Andre Freitas, the CEO of DX Gameworks, told GamesBeat in an interview, “We decided to start the publishing company because the market is in its infancy, basically. A lot of the resources and the needs weren’t really being tended to by foreign publishers… We do have to teach these smaller studios how to get a game to the finish line at a quality that’s not going to be a problem for Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo.”
Freitas added that part of the motivation was to offer a support system for Brazil’s creatives. DX Gameworks can handle the business side while the developers focus on creativity. “We told these guys, ‘We’re going to help you with all the bureaucratic part of the business — accounting, financing, marketing, all of that. We’re going to take care of it, and help you finish the game.’ That’s kind of how it started.”
