Getting Started

Overview

Gamebase is the home base for indie game developers. Import your game from Steam and build exactly the site you need. Every page below is optional. Enable a landing page, a press kit, news, custom pages, or any combination. Use one feature or all of them.

Landing Pages

Auto-generated from your Steam store page. Customize sections, colors, fonts, and layout.

Steam Sync

Import your game data directly from Steam. Your page stays in sync as your store page changes.

Press Kit

A dedicated press page with downloadable assets: logos, screenshots, and a fact sheet.

News & Posts

Publish updates and devlogs with a rich text editor directly on your game's site.

Custom Pages

Create additional content pages like an FAQ, credits, or privacy policy — or set up redirects.

Analytics

Track page views, top referrers, popular pages, and visitor geography after you go live.

Early Access

Gamebase is currently in early access. Anyone can sign up for free and start building right away. No waitlist, no invitation required.

Adding Your Game

Importing from Steam

Paste your Steam Store URL or App ID and we'll automatically pull in your game data. Here's what gets imported:

  • Game title and description
  • Developer and publisher names
  • Header image, capsule art, and background
  • All screenshots
  • Release date and pricing
  • Genres, categories, and tags
  • System requirements (Windows, Mac, Linux)
  • Supported languages

Steam URL Format

We accept any Steam Store URL format:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/123456/Your_Game/

Staying in Sync

After the initial import, Gamebase periodically checks Steam for changes to your store page. If something updates (new screenshots, a description change), your assets are refreshed automatically. The sync frequency depends on your plan.

Game Settings

After importing, configure your game's settings from the Settings tab. These control how your site appears to visitors and in search results.

Website TitleThe title shown in browser tabs and search results
FaviconThe small icon in browser tabs (SVG format, max 50 KB)
Store LinksLinks to Steam, Epic, GOG, Itch.io, Humble, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and more. The first store link becomes your main call-to-action button.
Social LinksLinks to your Twitter/X, Discord, YouTube, Twitch, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook. Shown as icons in your site footer.

Page Editor

Using the Editor

Your landing page is built from a vertical stack of sections. Add sections, reorder, and customize each one. A header and footer are always present on your page.

Assets & Media

Managing Assets

Gamebase manages two types of assets: images imported from Steam and images you upload yourself. Both can be used across your landing page, press kit, posts, and custom pages.

Steam-imported assets

When you import your game, all images from your Steam store page are automatically available — header image, capsule art, background image, and all screenshots. These stay in sync as your Steam page changes.

Uploading assets

You can also upload your own images. Use the asset picker (available anywhere you can add an image) to drag-and-drop or browse for files. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF.

Asset TypeFormatNotes
ImagesJPEG, PNG, WebP, GIFUsed in galleries, hero backgrounds, features, press kit, posts
FaviconSVG onlyMax 50 KB. The icon shown in browser tabs.
OG ImageJPEG, PNG, WebPMax 1 MB. Recommended 1200x630px for social media previews.
Storage Limits
Each plan has its own asset count, file size, and total storage limits. You can see your current usage on the Billing page.

Videos

You can embed YouTube and Vimeo videos in your gallery sections, press kit, and posts. Just paste the video URL and Gamebase handles the embed — including automatic thumbnail generation.

Gallery Sections

Add videos alongside screenshots in your gallery. Videos appear with a play button overlay and open in the lightbox.

Posts & Custom Pages

Embed videos inline in your content using the editor. Videos are displayed as responsive embeds.

Press Kit

Setting Up Your Press Kit

Give press and content creators easy access to your game's assets. Enable the press kit from the editor and it becomes a dedicated page on your site.

  • Quick facts: release date, price, genres, platforms, and languages

  • Video gallery (YouTube and Vimeo embeds)

Creating a post

Click New Post from the Posts tab

Each post gets its own URL at yoursite.gamebase.gg/news/post-slug. The slug is auto-generated from your title but can be customized while the post is in draft.

Site Must Be Published
Posts only appear on your live site. If your site isn't published yet, you can still write and save drafts, but they won't be visible to anyone.

Slash Commands

Post SEO

Each post has optional SEO settings you can configure in the side panel: a custom meta title, meta description, and OG image for social media sharing. If left empty, these fall back to your post title, excerpt, and header image.

Going Live

Verification

Before you can publish, you need to verify that you own the game. This protects players from impersonation. Click the Verification status on your game dashboard to get started.

How it works

1

Copy the unique verification code from the Verification dialog on your game dashboard

2

Send it to us using one of the methods below

3

We'll verify and mark your game within 24-48 hours

Email Verification

Send the verification code from the email address listed as your game's support email on Steam. This is the fastest way to verify.

Social Media Verification

DM us the verification code from your game's official Twitter/X or Bluesky account.

Automatic Verification
If your Steam support email domain matches the email you signed up with, your game may be verified automatically after import.

Publishing Your Site

Once your game is verified and you've designed your website, you can publish from the game dashboard with a single click.

Requirements to publish

  • Your game must be verified
  • Your home page must have at least one section designed

When you publish

  • Your site goes live at yourslug.gamebase.gg
  • Your landing page, press kit, news, and custom pages become visible
  • Analytics start tracking page views, referrers, and visitor geography
  • You can unpublish at any time to take the site offline

Preview Before Publishing

You can preview your site at any time using the preview button in the editor. No verification or publishing needed to see how your page looks.

Custom Domains

On paid plans, you can connect your own domain (like mygame.com or play.mygame.com) to your Gamebase site.

Setting up a domain

1

Go to your game's Settings and open the Domain tab

2

Enter your domain name and click Add Domain

3

Add the DNS records shown in the dashboard to your domain registrar. You'll need to add a CNAME record and may need one or two TXT records for verification.

4

Click Check Status to verify your DNS records are set up correctly. Once verified, your domain goes active with a free SSL certificate.

DNS Propagation

DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate, though most go through within minutes. You can keep checking the status from your dashboard.

Your default yourslug.gamebase.gg URL continues to work alongside your custom domain. You can remove a custom domain at any time from the same settings page.
