Launch Your Game With Confidence
Game launches involve countless details across technical and operational domains. When managed properly, your game enters the market smoothly and creates positive first impressions that set the stage for long-term success.
Return HomeWhat This Service Provides
We provide comprehensive support during the critical launch period when your game transitions from development to public availability. This includes handling store submission requirements, monitoring technical performance during the first days, collecting and organizing player feedback, and responding quickly to any issues that emerge.
The goal is ensuring your launch goes smoothly so you can focus on engaging with your new players and planning next steps, rather than scrambling to fix preventable problems or wondering why your submission was rejected.
Store Submission Assistance
Navigating app store requirements can be complex. We review your submission materials, help prepare required assets, ensure compliance with guidelines, and assist with the submission process to minimize rejections and delays.
Launch Day Monitoring
The first hours and days after launch are critical. We monitor your game's technical performance, track download and crash metrics, watch for server issues, and stay alert for problems that need immediate attention.
Feedback Collection
Early player feedback is valuable but can be overwhelming. We help organize and prioritize the feedback you receive, identifying critical issues, common complaints, and positive signals to guide your immediate post-launch efforts.
Rapid Response Support
When critical issues appear, quick response matters. We provide prioritized support during the launch window to address technical problems, deployment issues, or other challenges that could impact your game's reception.
Why Launches Often Go Wrong
You've probably seen game launches that started poorly and struggled to recover. These setbacks are often preventable with proper preparation and attention.
Store Submission Rejections
App stores have detailed requirements that aren't always intuitive. Missing screenshots in specific sizes, inadequate privacy policy details, issues with age ratings, problems with metadata—any of these can result in rejection that delays your launch by days or weeks while you scramble to fix issues you didn't know existed.
Technical Issues at Scale
Your game might work perfectly in testing but encounter problems when hundreds or thousands of real players start using it simultaneously. Server capacity issues, unexpected device compatibility problems, edge cases you never encountered in testing—these can create negative reviews and refund requests in the critical first days.
Overwhelming Feedback
After launch, feedback arrives from multiple channels—store reviews, social media, email, forums. Without organization, it's difficult to separate signal from noise, identify which issues are widespread versus isolated, or prioritize what needs immediate attention versus what can wait.
Slow Problem Response
When critical issues appear during launch, every hour matters. If you're trying to diagnose problems, implement fixes, test solutions, and deploy updates all while fielding player complaints, the situation can spiral. Delayed responses mean more negative reviews and lost players who might never return.
These launch problems don't just cause short-term stress—they can permanently damage your game's reputation and reduce its potential audience. First impressions matter, and you don't get a second chance at launch day.
Our Approach to Launch Support
We've supported enough game launches to know what typically goes wrong and how to prevent or quickly resolve these issues.
Pre-Launch Preparation
Before submission, we review your game against store requirements. We check your metadata, screenshots, descriptions, privacy policy, and other materials. We look for common rejection reasons and help address them proactively. We also verify technical readiness—are analytics configured, are crash reporting tools working, is everything prepared for launch day monitoring?
Submission Guidance
We assist with the actual submission process, helping navigate platform-specific requirements and ensuring all materials are properly formatted and uploaded. If rejections occur despite preparation, we help interpret the feedback, implement necessary changes, and resubmit efficiently. Our experience with platform guidelines helps avoid common pitfalls and expedite approval.
Active Launch Monitoring
During the first 48-72 hours after your game goes live, we actively monitor key metrics—download velocity, crash rates, server response times, error logs. We watch for patterns that indicate problems and alert you immediately if we see concerning trends. This proactive monitoring means issues get caught early before they affect many players.
Prioritized Issue Response
When problems arise, we help triage and address them based on severity and impact. Critical issues affecting many players get immediate attention. We assist with diagnosis, help implement fixes, and coordinate emergency updates if necessary. Less urgent issues are documented for post-launch updates. You get clear prioritization rather than feeling overwhelmed by everything at once.
What the Launch Support Process Involves
Our support spans from pre-submission preparation through the critical first week after your game goes live.
Pre-Launch Phase (1-2 Weeks Before)
We begin working with you about two weeks before your planned launch. We review all submission materials, verify technical readiness, set up monitoring tools, and create a launch checklist covering everything that needs to happen. We identify potential issues and address them before submission rather than discovering them during review.
Submission Period (Variable)
We assist with submitting to your target platforms and remain available during the review period. If rejections occur, we help interpret the feedback and guide you through addressing the issues efficiently. We coordinate resubmissions and communicate with you about timing expectations so you can plan your launch activities.
Launch Day and Weekend
The first 72 hours are critical. We monitor your game continuously, watching for technical issues, tracking performance metrics, and staying alert for problems. We're available for rapid response if critical issues emerge. We also begin collecting and organizing player feedback so you understand initial reception without being overwhelmed by the volume.
First Week Post-Launch
After the initial launch intensity, we continue monitoring at a reduced level through the first week. We help you analyze early performance data, prioritize reported issues, and plan your immediate post-launch updates. We provide a launch summary documenting what happened, what worked well, and what needs attention going forward.
Communication During Launch
Daily Check-Ins
Brief daily updates during the pre-launch and active launch phases keep you informed without consuming excessive time. You always know what's happening.
Immediate Alerts
If we detect critical issues, you're notified immediately through your preferred channel. We don't wait for scheduled check-ins to report serious problems.
Available When Needed
During the active launch period, we're available for questions and support outside of normal business hours. Launch issues don't wait for Monday morning.
Clear Documentation
Everything is documented—decisions made, issues encountered, feedback received. You have a complete record of your launch for future reference.

Measuring Launch Success
You need to know whether your launch went well and what it means for your game's future.
Technical Performance Metrics
We track and report on crash-free rate, average load times, server response times, and other technical indicators. These metrics show whether your game is performing acceptably for the majority of players or if technical issues are creating friction.
Target benchmarks: above 98% crash-free rate, load times under 5 seconds, server response under 200ms for most requests.
Player Reception Indicators
We monitor early reviews, ratings, refund rates, and social media sentiment. While individual reviews vary, patterns in early feedback indicate whether your game is meeting player expectations or if there are widespread concerns that need addressing.
We help distinguish between feedback about genuine issues versus normal variance in player preferences.
Engagement Patterns
Early engagement data—session length, return rate in first 24 hours, progression through onboarding—provides signals about whether players are finding your game engaging. These metrics help you understand if the game is retaining the players who download it.
Context matters: expectations differ for different game types, so we help interpret metrics relative to your genre and monetization model.
Issue Resolution Speed
We track how quickly identified issues are addressed. Successful launches aren't perfect—they're ones where problems are caught early and resolved quickly before affecting many players. Our documentation shows your responsiveness to launch issues.
This record is valuable for understanding your launch capability and planning future releases.
What a Successful Launch Means
A successful launch doesn't mean perfect—it means your game entered the market without major technical issues, player feedback is generally positive or at least constructive, and you have clear data about what's working and what needs improvement.
Most importantly, you avoided the preventable problems that damage games permanently and instead have a solid foundation for post-launch development and growth.
