Stand8 Launches Evoc8 to Expand Game Co-Development

New studio helps game teams scale engineering, art, QA, production, LiveOps, and player support around each title's roadmap.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stand8 today announced Evoc8 by Stand8, a game and digital experiences co-development studio built to help development teams extend capacity, access talent, and deliver with flexibility across the production lifecycle.

Evoc8 extends that mission into gaming and digital experiences, giving development teams the specialized talent and production support needed to build what comes next," said Quinn Fillmon, Founder and CEO of Stand8.

Evoc8 supports studios from pre-production and development through launch and LiveOps. Its elastic model combines an experienced development bench with international studio partners and Stand8's talent solutions infrastructure. Studios can engage a specialist, discipline pod, production strike team, or integrated team spanning games development and post-release lifecycle.

• Make: engineering, art, design, content, tools, infrastructure, data, and release support.
