Sickhead handled the simultaneous console launch of Door Kickers: Action Squad across PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, managing three separate certification pipelines in parallel to hit a single release window. The deeper technical challenge was integrating the game’s online co-op into three fundamentally different multiplayer backends — Xbox Live, PSN, and Nintendo Online — each with its own networking architecture, session management, and submission requirements, all working correctly at launch.
