Intel Heavy, Data Driven, Globally Aware

Commercial wins in today’s game market don’t come easy.

In fact, over 90% of games are failed by preventable design, positioning, or retention mistakes. These issues have nothing to do with talent and everything to do with oversized scope and internal blind spots.

Through collaboration and a focus on excellence, we help studios de-risk games and convert 'potential' into top-tier, market-leading titles in a competitive industry.

Founded in 2024, MGN Global brings extensive risk and QA experience to give developers a critical edge. This approach accelerates iteration by up to 300%, enabling faster validation, smarter decisions, and stronger market performance.

We are in active collaboration or contact with over 10 studios worldwide, including teams in Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and several U.S. states.
