Updating your game
How to send fixes and new versions after launch.
You can update your game at any time.
- On your dashboard, press Update under your game.
- Change any of the details, and tick Upload a new build if you have a new version.
- Press Send update.
Updates are reviewed before going live. Review takes 3–5 working days. Your game's current version stays up until the update is approved.
Before you send a new build, test it using the steps in Testing your game, and check it still meets the technical requirements.
Don't use an update to add anything that breaks the Developer Terms or our Community and Content Guidelines.
If you host the game yourself
You control the files, so small fixes you publish to the same address reach players the next time they load the game. Big changes should still go through Update, so we can check them.
Telling players
When a change is worth announcing, ask us to mark your game as updated. It then appears on the Updated page, and players get a notification.
Keep saves working
Players may have saved progress. Try not to break it. If you must change your save format, read the old format and upgrade it when the game loads.
