Breaking into the games market is harder than ever, but you don't have to do it alone.
Playsaurus Publishing is a game publishing solution designed to help small indie developers navigate the incredibly competitive gaming industry. We have a proven track record of successfully publishing indie titles across PC, mobile, and consoles.
Indie game creators face many challenges on their path to releasing a successful game. Development is often only half of the equation. Creators also need to build a solid marketing and launch plan to get their game in front of the right audience at the right time.
Playsaurus Publishing was built by developers, for developers. We're run by engineers at every level who understand the hurdles that creators face.
When you choose to publish with us, you'll gain access to a dedicated team that cares about your success. We're happy to communicate with you directly on your own terms via Discord, email, or phone.
We care more about your passion for your game than any pitch deck, and we remain hands off during the whole process. While we are happy to provide feedback when asked, at the end of the day, your game is YOUR own vision. We don't get involved in the design or development of your games.

As an engineering-first company, Playsaurus believes in the power of data and systems. We actively invest in the capabilities of our platform and can offer services that even larger publishers aren't equipped to handle. All creator partners will have access to the following services:
Attribution — We developed an in-house system to track and report on customer acquisition attribution. Knowing when and where users come from (e.g., an ad campaign/creative, a specific Reddit comment, etc.) helps you scale intelligently and influence consumer sentiment.
Playsaurus Press Outreach — Over several years as a publisher in the industry, we've built connections with various press outlets. We will personally help you write and publish press releases and author a press kit to get your game mentioned in relevant media outlets. This will significantly add to launch hype and get eyeballs on your game before it even launches.
QA — Our in-house QA team will comb through every detail of your game, ensuring it is battle-tested and ready to be played before launch.
Game development is an extremely risky business at all levels, especially for indie releases. The median indie game generates less than $4,000 according to VG Insights.
Playsaurus has successfully helped fund several games that have found success on Steam and other platforms. We look for games with a unique edge in the idle gaming space; titles with a fun core play loop that also excite players in streams, videos, and community discussions.
Let Playsaurus help you de-risk your game release to avoid losses and any worst-case outcomes. We offer different funding options with the goal that the developer never loses control over their game.
Orteil - “Playsaurus helped us connect all the bits we needed to get on Steam, from their preliminary experience with the platform to press kits to assembling localization teams.”
Oleg Danilov - “For me working with Playsaurus for releasing "Sixty Four" on Steam was as essential as making the game itself. They have all the means to reach to the right audience at the right time and provide you with everything that is needed for a successful launch. And if you have a game you care about, it is essential for it to have a good launch.”
Brian Zou - "Working with Playsaurus has been a huge boost for Tingus Goose. Their extended knowledge of Steam, branding, and wishlist strategy helped us hit impressive numbers during our Steam page launch. Beyond that, they offered financial support and even drove traffic to our game from their existing player base. It's rare to find a publishing partner that understands both the weird and the commercial side of indie — Playsaurus gets both."
