Game Platform Publishing

Publishing is the path from a finished game project to a product a platform can sell, distribute, review, and support. It is not one upload. It joins business identity, platform agreements, a store presence, a tested build, product configuration, review, and release control.

Each platform owns its own portal, policies, technical requirements, and approval path. Treat the platform as a release environment with a contract. Your team owns the game and its claims. The platform decides which submission artifacts it needs before release.

Steamworks onboarding illustrates the shape of the work. The partner provides legal identity, bank and tax information, accepts agreements, pays an app fee, then prepares a store page, builds, features, and pricing. Steam reviews the store presence and product build before release. Epic's publishing workflow likewise starts with onboarding, then early awareness, configuration and testing, final review, and release. Steamworks Onboarding Epic Publishing Workflow
