What I N F I N I T Y 27 does

I N F I N I T Y 27 LTD. (trading as INFINITY27) is a privately held UK game studio and Epic Games-authorised Unreal Engine 5 training centre based at the PROTO emerging-technology facility in Gateshead. Operating under an "open game studio" model since founding circa 2017, the company delivers a portfolio of three product lines: professional next-generation 3D services (VR, immersive content, real-time visualisation) delivered to enterprise and institutional clients; structured Unreal Engine 5 Skills Bootcamps for adult and young learners; and proprietary game IP including the trademarked title SAMSARA®, distributed via a dedicated digital storefront.

Its technical stack is built around Unreal Engine 5 as the primary real-time 3D platform, supplemented by Unity for cross-platform work, NVIDIA RTX GPU-accelerated rendering, Perforce for version control, Hansoft for agile project management, and Autodesk tools for 3D production. The studio holds the official Unreal Authorised Training Center designation from Epic Games and UK Cyber Essentials certification, both displayed as trust signals to enterprise and public-sector buyers.

Revenue is generated through three distinct streams: project-based professional client services (quote-based, tailored to scope), recurring course fees from training bootcamps, and one-time game sales/licensing from proprietary IP. Go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, with named client engagements spanning live events (B2 Live Events, Tyne Deck), higher education (Northumbria University, Gateshead College, ETH Zurich Future Cities Laboratory), cultural institutions (BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art), immersive technology firms (Synergy VR), and public-sector projects (Seattle Public Library VR, 3D Printed Newcastle). The company operates with 11-50 employees and has not disclosed any external funding rounds or revenue figures.
