FAQs
How Will Live Game Operations Help Me Stand Out?
Have you played a game with a railroad campaign only to eventually forget all about it? Live game operations (LiveOps) are what will help your game stay at the peak of players’ interests for a long time. Constant updates timed events, and special offers will keep them engaged and become a long-lasting source of revenue for you.
Candy Crush actively uses LiveOps to provide limited-time offers, seasonal events, and launch episodes featuring stars (e.g., famous singer Meghan Trainor). This game alone earned $1.21 billion in 2021, making a considerable increase from the $77 million in its first year of release (2012), ranking it as the sixth-highest-grossing mobile video game ever. You can do that too!
With LiveOps, you will stand out from competitors who stick to the classics. It will allow you to constantly wow players with new content and cool features. Thus, live game operations are certainly worth trying.
How to Build a LiveOps Strategy?
Following your game release, the most crucial aspect of your plan is to pay attention to what users say. After all, the feedback will help you drive your game forward. Check your rating on Google Play Market or Apple App Store, comb through forums and social media, and monitor analytics platforms for all kinds of feedback.
The second step is planning and implementing changes. See how well your update performed by pushing your test live in an A/B format.
This is a skeleton of an actual LiveOps strategy. Usually, such strategies are selected exclusively for each gaming project. Stepico experts have an individual approach to each client, depending on their requirements. That is why, after a detailed analysis of the game and its processes, we choose the optimal bundle of LiveOps services that best suits a particular genre and style of the game. This tried-and-true approach has helped many clients attract new users and retain the older ones. Contact us now to try live game operations and harvest their power yourself!
