Games Key Art

Gold-standard key art that captures players and drives wishlists

Steam Capsule Art

All Storefronts

Capture attention instantly

Key art is the face of your game and first impressions matter. Grab attention from players with art that communicates everything about your game in a single frame. We create game capsules that work on storefronts, press kits, websites and social – built with players and the market top of mind.

Game key art that converts and supports success

We design with emotional storytelling, thumbnail readability and marketing impact in mind. Our capsule art has helped devs hit wishlist milestones, build hype and gain publisher interest.

A collaborative creative process

We work closely with teams to magic up a piece that’s aligned with your game and primed for success. You bring the vision, we bring the polish, strategic thinking and experience to create game key art that stops the scroll, sparks curiosity, and gets players to take action.

Global Winner

Our key art services are globally award winning

We work with solo devs, big teams and publishers to create key art that genuinely drives player attention. We went on to win Best Games Key Art Globally at the Global Entertainment Awards 2025, beating the likes of Ubisoft, for a humble solo developer.

We’ve shipped projects to all platforms

Animations that players love

Games Key Art Projects

Our key art helps games get wishlisted, featured and signed. These projects show how strong capsules unlock real game success.

Terminus: Zombie Survivors became an award-winning success with thousands of glowing Steam reviews and MLC Studio’s key art helped it capture plenty of player attention. So much so, that Longplay Studios returned for a second piece to support their 1.1 NPC update.

Publisher’s highest grossing title

Very Positive on Steam

OTXO

OXTO’s logo and key art, designed by MLC Studio, helped make it Super Rare Games’ highest-grossing title ever – credited Super rare Games as a core factor in its commercial success and we “smashed [it] outta the park!”.

FAQs

Yes – every key art piece starts with concept sketches to align on composition, mood and direction. You’ll have input at each stage, with rounds of revisions included before we finalise the artwork. You’ll approve each step before we move on.

We deliver very high-res PSDs and flattened PNGs as standard. If you need alternate formats (TIFF, JPEG, WebP etc.), just ask. Resolutions are set for your usage (e.g. Steam capsule, hero banners, or 4K prints) and we can provide versions at multiple sizes. All storefronts and platforms are supported including Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, Switch and mobile.

Definitely. Just let us know your print specs up front (DPI, sizing, bleed etc.) and we’ll prep the artwork so it prints crisp and colour-accurate. Even if you realise you need it to be print-ready after we’ve worked on it, the files will be super high-res and will look amazing printed (send us pics of it once you have – always amazing to see work in the physical world)

Smashed Brief Outta The Park

I had the absolute pleasure of working with a number of superstar artists and animators on the OTXO Key Art. From the outset, they were passionate, professional, and totally focused on smashing the brief outta the park! They listened, refined when needed, and executed a stunning piece of work we’re all so proud of – fine work, MLC!

I Love The Outcome

I worked with MLC in order to have some Steam capsule art created, and I love the outcome! They are fantastic to work with and very professional in every sense, and I would come back again.
