# CodeDev launches optimisation division The Performance Guys

**[GamesIndustry.biz](https://daily.dev/sources/gamesindustry)** · 2 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

UK co-development studio CodeDev (also known as The Unreal Guys) has launched a specialist optimisation division called The Performance Guys, staffed exclusively by engineers and technical artists. The division has already worked on titles including Mafia: The Old Country and projects for Epic Games, claiming up to 50% memory usage reductions on cross-console overhauls. CodeDev also developed an internal 'Performance Intelligence' tool that provides richer profiling data than Unreal Insights, helping developers identify wrong-thread execution and high-cost dependency chains. The division is hiring senior engineers and covers Unreal Engine, Unity, and proprietary tech across indie, AA, and AAA games as well as virtual productions.
