Process and next steps

If your game meets the program criteria, you can begin by applying via the Unity Dashboard. The application process helps us learn about your project and development team, then work with you to integrate the Game Growth package via the Unity editor. The package includes a suite of tools that help measure essential metrics within your game.

The process then shifts to testing user acquisition, where we gain insights on your game’s key performance metrics. If everything checks out, an official partnership will be established. Unity covers all of the costs associated with this evaluation phase.

Partnership through Game Growth means that your studio will have an extended team of experts with experience developing and scaling some of the biggest games in the mobile industry.

How to apply


You can get started right now! The application process is swift, and all you need is a valid Unity game that is live on iOS or Android (It doesn’t have to be a fully finished game but we expect to run a CPI test therefore we need it to be available). From there, head to the Game Growth section on the Unity Dashboard and begin your application process.

Whether you’re a new game developer or a seasoned veteran, Game Growth provides the opportunity for any game developer to take their mobile game to the next level, while maintaining independence, intellectual property and creative freedom.
