Game developers publish browser-playable games and gate content behind subscription tiers. Players discover new games, play for free, and subscribe to creators they want to support — unlocking exclusive features, early access, and experimental builds. Think of it as Substack for games. No app store submission. No 30% platform cut. No complex backend infrastructure required. Creators set up in minutes with a lightweight SDK and start earning from day one. ## For players - **Discover indie games** — browse a curated feed of browser-playable games from independent developers. - **Play for free** — every game on the platform has free content. No paywall to start playing. - **Support creators directly** — subscribe to creators you love and unlock exclusive tiers of content. - **One subscription, all games** — a single subscription to a creator unlocks all of their current and future games at that tier. ## For creators - **Free to publish** — no submission fees, no hosting costs, no approval process. - **Keep 80% of revenue** — sub.games takes a 20% platform fee on paid subscriptions. That's it. - **No exclusivity required** — distribute your games anywhere else at the same time. sub.games works alongside your existing channels. - **Integrate in minutes** — the sub.games SDK handles authentication, tier-gating, and subscribe prompts. No backend needed. - **Built-in audience** — players already on the platform can discover your games through search, feeds, and creator recommendations. ## Subscription tiers Every creator on sub.games has three tiers of access. Creators set their own Supporter pricing, so the cost varies per creator. - **Free** — sign up with just an email. Play free game content, follow creators, and get email updates. - **Supporter** — a monthly or annual subscription at a price the creator chooses. Unlocks all current and future games, supporter-only features, and experimental builds. - **Founder** — an annual subscription for a creator's biggest supporters. Includes everything in Supporter plus VIP recognition and direct creator access. ## How it works 1. **Creators publish games** — upload a browser game or link an existing hosted game. Set which features are free, Supporter, or Founder. 2. **Players discover and play** — every game starts with free access. After a taste, players are prompted to subscribe for more. 3. **Subscribers unlock content** — subscribing to a creator unlocks gated features across all of their games, instantly. 4. **Creators get paid** — revenue flows directly to creators via Stripe. Monthly payouts, transparent reporting. Questions?

Game developers publish browser-playable games and gate content behind subscription tiers. Think Substack, but for games — players subscribe to creators they want to support, and that subscription unlocks gated content across all of the creator's games. ## How do subscription tiers work? Every creator offers three tiers: - **Free** — email signup, no payment. Unlocks the creator's free-tier games and content. - **Supporter** — a monthly or annual subscription at the creator's chosen price. Unlocks all of their Supporter-tier content. - **Founder** — an annual subscription for the creator's biggest supporters. Default $150/year. Includes Supporter access plus VIP recognition and direct creator access. ## How much do creators keep? Creators keep 80% of paid subscription revenue. sub.games takes a 20% platform fee — that covers payment processing, hosting, distribution, and the platform itself. There are no submission fees, no hosting costs, and no approval process. ## Do I need to install anything? No. Games are browser-playable. Authentication uses passwordless email codes — no password to create, no app to download. ## Can I publish my games elsewhere too? Yes. sub.games does not require exclusivity. Distribute your games on itch.io, Steam, your own site, or anywhere else at the same time. ## How does the SDK work? The sub.games SDK is a small JavaScript library you add to your game. It handles: - Authentication (passwordless email) - Tier-gating (the SDK knows which tier each player is on for your account) - Subscribe prompts (when a player tries to access gated content) Server-side validation is available via the `@subgames/server-sdk` package — useful for games that score, save state, or otherwise need to trust the player's tier. ## When do creators get paid? Payouts run monthly via Stripe. Payment processing fees are deducted before the 20% platform fee, so creator earnings always reflect net revenue. ## What kinds of games are allowed? Browser-playable games of any genre — text adventures, puzzles, action, narrative, multiplayer, you name it. Content must comply with the [Acceptable Use Policy](/aup). ## How do I cancel my subscription? You can cancel any subscription from your account settings. The subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period; you don't lose access immediately. ## Where can I get support? Reach out on [X / Twitter](https://x.com/subdotgames) or email hello@sub.games. --- ## Subscriptions Canonical URL: https://sub.games/subscriptions Markdown URL: https://sub.games/subscriptions.md # Subscriptions Subscribe to creators on sub.games to unlock gated games and content.
