Gaming Press Release Distribution Service

Thanks for the support and so far the response has been incredible. I’ve been contacted about reviews and had the game featured on the front page of quite a few game news sites. (Xavier D. Moore, Enigma Games Inc)


How to Cost-effectively Market a Casual Game?

You have finally launched a long-awaited game and now faced the most common dilemma every indie developer faces - how to make gamers find your game, try it, love it and buy it when you have a fairly small marketing budget.

Gaming press release is one of the most effective and low-cost solutions for a game developer to announce a new game product and thus evoke the media buzz attention on the non-ad base. Needless to say readers tend to trust editorial space rather than the ad space.


Where Does a Press Release about your Game Go to?

The receivers of the press release include PC game magazines (PC Gamer, PC Zone, Game Informer), websites (GameSpy, GameSpot), portals (Google News), etc. Moreover, depending on the target readership, press releases can be sent out among lifestyle, family & parenting, kids, or education media.


Benefits of Gaming Press Release Distribution Service

  • Long-tail effect. One published, a press release arouses the bloggers’ interest, which may result in multiple blog posts, social networking, twits and other reprints.
  • Vast consumers’ interest, more downloads and sales.
  • Firm reputation. Mass media is the most authoritative source of information for consumers.
  • Economy. Advertising articles in a print magazine cost hundred and thousand times more expensive than any press release with the latter being the only way to get a game review or a feature story.
