SINGAPORE, August 20, 2024 - k-ID, a pioneering platform for safe and age-appropriate gaming experiences, and Rocket Science Group, a trusted partner in co-development, platform services and live operations for video games, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at making it easier for game studios to achieve global regulatory compliance.
 
“The ability Rocket Science’s studios have to technically support game studios of all sizes aligns perfectly with our mission to democratize access to safe, age-appropriate experiences on a global scale,” said Kieran Donovan, CEO and co-founder of k-ID. “Rocket Science will be able to help video game studios integrate k-ID's Global Compliance Engine even more efficiently. Having worked very closely with the Rocket Science team, we have seen first-hand how they relentlessly support a fast and efficient integration process for any client who wants to achieve global youth compliance through k-ID.”
 
The partnership leverages Rocket Science’s studios and widely acknowledged expertise as a co-development group, as well as its experience working with k-ID to help game developers integrate k-ID’s API-based global youth compliance engine into their games. The partnership will help developers provide safe, enjoyable, and compliant gaming experiences for players of all ages without impacting development schedules. The two companies have already successfully worked together to bring k-ID integrations to life for popular games, with the first of these titles going live this year.
 
Rocket Science Group, based in New York and Cardiff, is a trusted partner in game development. It has worked with some of the world’s largest and most successful games. Its innovative solutions and robust support systems have elevated and enhanced online gaming services, allowing developers to spend more time focused on the game itself.
 
“Our goal at Rocket Science Group has always been to not just be the best possible development partner for studios, publishers and developers, but to strive to make gaming better as a whole for everyone,” said Thomas Daniel, CEO of Rocket Science Group. “We can now take that a step further by making it faster and easier for developers to integrate k-ID’s industry-leading youth compliance technology. We are excited to bring the k-ID technology to even more publishers, to support a safe, fun and empowered future for youth in games around the world.”
