Today, we're happy to announce our partnership with Wortal. They provide game developers with end-to-end solutions for generating revenue and publishing their games. Without further ado, we'll let the good people at Wortal explain what they're all about!

Game developers know that creating a great game is only half the battle. Once your game is finished, the gauntlet of distribution, marketing, and monetization begins. This is where Wortal comes in—a game distribution platform that empowers developers with a "build once, launch everywhere" approach. You only need to upload one build of your game, and Wortal launches it across web gaming platforms, and app stores everywhere.
What is Wortal?
Launching your game across multiple distribution channels can be a complex, time-consuming process. Each platform has its own requirements, SDKs, review processes, and compliance rules. Wortal eliminates that friction.
With a single integration, Wortal handles the technical, operational, and compliance work needed to publish your game across major web platforms, instant gaming networks, and app stores—including access to exclusive partners in Japan. Developers get a unified solution that simplifies the entire launch process—so you can focus on making great games, not navigating launch hurdles.
To date, Wortal is trusted by 81 game studios, delivering 1,229 games that have attracted over 6.5 million players.
What Wortal Offers GDevelop Developers
GDevelop is the engine of choice for beginners, indie developers, and small studios to create casual, fast-paced, and social games that players love to share. Wortal helps these developers take their games global with full distribution control and seamless monetization—without hidden fees or penalties for success.
Wortal provides direct access to the lucrative Japanese market through partners like Tsutaya (70M+ members), Mixi (17M+ MAU), and GMO. Based in Tokyo, the fully bilingual Wortal team offers localization, marketing, and regional support to help developers succeed in Japan.
To help developers earn more, Wortal includes a powerful ad mediation system that works with top networks like Google Ads, Yandex, Pangle, LiftOff, and Facebook. Ads are placed using real-time bidding to maximize revenue, and developers can also integrate IAP to diversify monetization.
All of this is included in Wortal Launchbase, a flat monthly subscription that gives you all-in access to global distribution with one SDK, monetization tools, Japan market entry, analytics, and expert support. No revenue share. No delays. Just scalable growth.

What Games Succeed on Wortal?
Not all games perform equally across platforms. Here’s what tends to do best:
- Casual & Original: Games that are easy to pick up and play, with unique mechanics or engaging gameplay, tend to do well.
- Lightweight & Fast-Loading: Players expect quick load times—games that are optimized for speed see higher engagement.
- Catchy & Shareable: Social appeal is key! Games that encourage players to share, compete, or interact with friends perform better.
- Monetization-Friendly: The best-performing games support multiple revenue streams, including both ads and in-app purchases (IAP).
- Polished & Market-Ready: We curate our game library and work with developers to refine their games for maximum success, including localization and marketing support.
If your game checks these boxes, Wortal can help you maximize its potential with a streamlined launch and broad audience reach.
