Launch Packages Features
Newsletter
Get the word out about a game announcement, new trailer, release date, launch—whatever—with our highly effective newsletters. We’ll get your game and news in front of thousands of verified media and influencers—always relevant to their interests, because nobody likes a dirty spammer.
Key Distribution
Hate sorting through endless requests for code? Don’t have time to research every channel, blog, or influencer who shows up in your inbox? Worried about having your keys taken by scam artists? Save countless hours and let our experienced team sort through it all. We’ll make sure your game gets into the hands of press and creators who actually want to cover it, so you can focus on development (or whatever you’d rather be spending your time on). On higher-end Launch Packages, we’ll distribute keys at different times, for example beta/preview versions and then again for review.
Consulting Time
It never hurts to get some advice, and our team is always happy to provide it. With years of industry experience, our team can help you nail down messaging, write and edit announcements, offer strategic guidance, and provide insight about how to make your game shine. Really, we’ll help you however we can.
Reports
See how your game is performing on Terminals with thorough and regular updates throughout the duration of your campaign. You’ll get insight into open and click rates on newsletters, see who’s requested and received keys, and more. Check the site for real-time stats, and enjoy clear and concise PDF reports that are easy to share and present to your team members, investors, or publishing partners.
Terminals Feature
We’ll put your game in the spotlight when it matters most. Every Terminals Launch Package gets featured placement on the site and is showcased on social media. We’re proud of every game on Terminals, and so we make sure to sing it from the mountaintop. Yodel-ay-hee-hoo.
Follow-Ups
You want to make sure you’re getting the most out of the keys you’re sending out to media, and that means taking the time to reach out to them and follow-up. Save yourself dozens or hundreds of emails—we’ll handle that process on your behalf, reaching out to those we’ve provided keys to and securing as much coverage for your game as possible.
Full Coverage Tracking
There's a whole world of media and influencers out there, and hunting down everything they’re saying about your game can be exhausting. With our Full Coverage Tracking, our team will do that heavy lifting for you, scraping the web for every video, stream, and article they can find to give you the complete picture.
Announcement Pre-Seeding
Media are busy, and it’s important to give them info about upcoming news as early as possible. We’ll craft a short list of key top-tier targets for your game and reach out to them prior to sending out your most important announcements. By starting the conversation early, we increase the odds that you’ll get coverage when you want it—under embargo, of course.
Frequently asked questions
- How can I use the consulting hours?
-
There are lots of ways you can use the consulting time: We can help you edit or write a press release. We can offer strategic advice, like when to send out your next trailer. We can help you refine your Steam page text. If it’s related to video game PR, we can probably do it as part of your consulting time.
- What territories does Terminals cover?
-
We have media and influencers from all different regions in the system, and we’re happy to work on games regardless of where they’re built. Our user base is spread across the planet, but at the moment it’s probably most effective to reach contacts in North America, South America, and Europe. That said, the site content is only in English right now, and we are considering wider language support in the future.
- How far from launch should I start this campaign?
-
We can turn things around quite quickly when needed, but the more time we have, the better. Game development rarely goes as smoothly as we expect it to, and it’s nice to have more time for planning and consulting, and to accommodate any surprises that may pop up. Our smaller packages are designed to start about 6 to 8 weeks before launch, while higher-end packages could be spread across several months or even a year. OR EVEN A DECADE?! No, that’s probably too long.
- Can you tell me how many people will cover my game/see my news?
-
We often like to tell our clients at Evolve and Terminals that there are really no guarantees when it comes to gaming PR. We can guarantee that we’ll get your game in front of thousands of verified media and influencers. But from there it’s up to your trailers to entice them, your news to excite them, and your game to captivate them. Launch Packages tend to get between 200 and 500 key requests—including many from top-tier media and influencers—though we’ve seen plenty of games attract more than 1000 requests.
- Can you tell me which media and influencers are in your system?
-
No, sorry. That would be a privacy nightmare, and we are—above all else—quite concerned for our users’ privacy. However, Terminals reaches most of the media outlets that cover video games, as well as a huge number of influencers. And because we verify every contact, you can be sure that the person who requested a key is actually who they claim to be.
- Are there any other fees?
-
Nope. If things change during your campaign, we can discuss additions or upgrades to a higher-tier package, but the price gets you everything outlined. No hidden fees.
- Can I use Terminals to promote an Early Access launch, major update, or DLC?
-
Of course! While these packages are designed with a standard launch in mind, we’ll work with you every step of the way to tailor things to fit your campaign’s needs.
