Game Storefront Strategies
As macroeconomic pressures continue to erode margins, stores that provide opportunities for margin expansion offer a commercial lifeline in a tumultuous time. Now more than ever, it is critical for studios and publishers to make decisions that enable a global, sim-ship strategy to maximize returns. But that's not the whole story, simply releasing your game to other stores isn't enough; driving awareness with compelling messaging to target audiences across stores and platforms is key, and ideally, your efforts can pull these audiences in and direct them to stores that provide the best net revenue opportunities.
In this roundtable, we will discuss best practices from early in the development cycle, crafting the go-to-market plan, and launching your product on multiple stores. Join us for a frank conversation on what has and has not worked for studios to hone in on the best practices that will give your team the best chance at success.
