On March 21st, thousands of game developers and companies will come together for the opening day of The 36th annual Game Developer Conference (GDC).
With over 200 exhibitors, this year’s GDC conference will be packed with new and exciting developments the gaming industry has been waiting to learn about all year.
The gaming industry has never been known to stand still – and the COVID-19 pandemic proved that in more ways than one. Since GDC last met in-person 3 years ago, there have been massive changes taking place within the industry and video game consumption.
Mobile gaming has taken the world by storm since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. People who otherwise might not have considered picking up their phones to play are now flocking to the app stores to nab popular game titles and unique indie games to play.
It’s a global trend that shows no signs of slowing. Game developers and companies have been keen on making a swift transition to mobile game adaptation. Titles only previously seen on PC or gaming consoles are now widely available on mobile.
For game developers, this upward tick is hard to ignore. However, notoriety alone doesn’t guarantee success on the app store. With the massive flood of new mobile gamers in the scene, game developers need to enact an App Store Optimization strategy that can effectively capture new and familiar users.

While the holistic approach to ASO requires more than just a quick update to metadata and creative assets, there are a few quick tips all mobile game app developers should have in their back pocket:
These are useful tips to keep in mind, but a full ASO strategy requires a lot more than just a few quick pointers in the right direction.
