Why high-volume UGC

Show more ways to get into the game.

Different players care about different moments. Creator gameplay can test whether a challenge, a reaction or a closer explanation makes someone want to play.

Choose players who fit

Match creators to the genre and audience. A larger roster is useful when it adds different play styles and relevant perspectives.

Keep gameplay recognizable

Brief the feature or moment you want to show, then let creators react naturally. Review footage and claims so the content reflects the game.

Measure the next step

Use campaign and game analytics to review visits, installs or player activity. Build on the content that attracts the audience you want to retain.
