PixelPicked for Journalists
A living source
for mobile games
journalism.
Follow games across development and release, with their updates, community, playable demos, and activity in one public history.
App stores show a product at the point of download, but that is only part of its story. PixelPicked connects game pages, developer profiles, devlogs, playable demos, rankings, campaigns, and community response. Journalists can use that public history to spot a story, understand how a game is changing, and follow it without piecing together scattered posts across several platforms.

developers and
early builds.

- 05
Frictionless HTML betas
Apply for beta access and instantly play HTML builds directly in your desktop browser. No need to mess with TestFlight links or APK sideloading just to preview a game for an article.
Early access - 06
Full development history
Read the complete devlog history on any Game page, and view the developer's broader portfolio on their Studio page. Gather rich background context for feature stories, not just news blurbs.
Context - 07
Launch alerts in real time
Follow a game to receive available updates when its Launch Campaign goes live, helping you track releases and milestones relevant to your coverage.
Launch alerts - 08
Story timing, not reaction timing
Following a game over time can provide development context before a release or major update. Interviews, quotes, and gameplay access still require coordination with the developer.

Why is PixelPicked useful for mobile games journalists?
PixelPicked brings reviewed game listings, developer profiles, devlogs, playable demos, rankings, campaigns, and community response together. Journalists can follow both developing and released games from one source.
How much earlier do games appear on PixelPicked than on the App Store?
Games can join during early development, testing, release, or later live operation. PixelPicked is designed to preserve their history rather than limit coverage to one launch window.
Can I easily play early builds of these mobile games?
Yes! One of PixelPicked's best features for press is that developers host playable HTML builds directly on the platform. Once approved for a playtest, you can experience the mobile game right in your browser, making it incredibly easy to evaluate a title without installing external apps.
How do I contact a developer through PixelPicked?
Game and Studio pages may include support details, websites, or social links supplied by the developer. Availability varies, and PixelPicked does not guarantee a response to press inquiries.
Can PixelPicked help me identify mobile gaming trend stories?
Yes. Personalized discovery, rankings, devlogs, and vote-ranked Launch Campaigns show what developers are building and how players are responding, helping you spot emerging genres and mechanics.
Is there a press registration or official journalist programme?
PixelPicked does not require a special press account. Journalists use the standard account system to follow games, apply for beta slots, and read devlogs. The platform's open structure ensures that press access is straightforward and immediate.
Good coverage needs more than a store description. PixelPicked keeps the game, its developer story, player response, and important updates connected.
