Valentine’s reminder: Localization works best with context, collaboration, and a little bit of love. 💚

Good thing we care deeply about all of it. 🌿

Their care, research, creativity, and obsession with detail are what make Spanish game localization truly shine. ✨

👣 Baby Steps

Great localization is made by people: translators and proofreaders who dive deep into worlds, mechanics, humor, lore, and culture so games can truly live in Spanish. 🎮🌍

In 2025, we were lucky to work on some incredible releases!

🏆 The XIV #PremiosATRAE are officially open to send your candidates!

And once again, they shine a light on something we deeply believe in at Native Prime... 💚

Technical and Cultural Difficulties - Localization | Native Prime 🧭 As discussed in our latest post, sim-ship and post-gold are distinct localization models that present very different challenges behind the scenes. Sim-ship requires teams to work in perfect sync...

We break down the most common challenges that studios face with sim-ship and post-gold and what to watch out for with the chosen approach. 🎮

#GameLocalization #GameDevs

At Native Prime, we work across all models — sim-ship, post-gold, and hybrid — with one constant goal:

Preserving your game’s soul and delivering native voices that truly resonate across territories. 🌿

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

Some games need global parity on day one. Others benefit from flexibility and iteration.

Many studios choose a hybrid path — sim-ship core languages, then expand post-launch.

But always keep best practices in mind! 📌

Post-gold localization happens after release.

It’s ideal for live games, major updates, or studios that want to validate tone, narrative, and player response before committing to full localization, with room to iterate and refine. 🔁

Sim-ship (simultaneous shipment) means localization happens alongside development.

Texts, UI, VO, and metadata are ready for launch day, so players everywhere share the same first experience, and the same launch momentum. 🗺️

🧭 #gamedevs! Sim-ship or post-gold?

When a game goes global, localization is part of the journey.

These two models shape timelines, workflows, and how players experience your game around the world. #gamelocalization 🎮
