Forge
Forge is an all-in-one self-publishing platform for Steam game studios, helping teams playtest, market, engage, and sell games before and after launch. The platform includes tools for sourcing relevant playtesters, managing waitlists and beta keys, building no-code game marketing pages, running quests/referral campaigns, tracking wishlists and ROAS, managing Discord/email/creator communities, and analyzing player cohorts and engagement. Forge is positioning itself as a go-to-market and LiveOps layer for indie and mid-sized PC game developers, combining playtesting, community growth, marketing automation, and AI agents into one workflow.
