Every game is different, but most ports take 4 to 6 months of work. This includes the actual porting process, QA testing, platform certification, and release.
Complex games with extensive optimization needs or staggered multi-platform launches may require additional time, while simpler single-platform ports can sometimes be delivered more quickly.
However we do recommend engaging us as early as possible as porting can factor into your game design decisions.
