Case Study: Pixowl achieves virtually zero initial game load times with Cloudflare CDN

Pixowl - Customer Case Study

Pixowl is a San Francisco–based mobile game studio that builds user-generated content games like The Sandbox. As a lean team hosting game assets on DigitalOcean, Pixowl needed to globally scale content delivery to minimize load times and keep players engaged, without diverting engineering resources to complex backend infrastructure.

Pixowl adopted Cloudflare’s CDN for a simple, fast, self‑service solution that instantly improved in‑game performance. Galleries and world previews load nearly instantly with no asynchronous lag, resulting in virtually zero initial game load times and a smoother player experience that supports better retention.
