Publishing and marketing strategy are integral to the success of contemporary game launches, no matter the target market. GTR will help selected studios at every step of the launch process, from developing a soft-launch and global launch strategy, to connecting studios with publishers in their target regions and assisting studios during the contract negotiation process.
