Release updates
After publishing your game, you can edit its parameters and source code. When you make changes, the game will go through moderation again. During the review, the previously uploaded version of the game will be available in the catalog.
To update your game:
-
Check whether your game meets the requirements.
-
Access the Games Console with your developer account.
-
Click Applications in the upper-left corner of the Games Console.
-
Find the game you want to update in the list and click its name.
-
Open the draft:
- If you're editing the game for the first time, click Create draft.
- If you have a draft, it will open automatically.
- If the game already has unpublished versions, click the name of one of them.
-
Edit the fields and upload a new archive.
For a detailed description of the fields, see Upload a game.
-
Click the Submit for moderation button. The draft will be moved to Waiting for moderation status.
Warning
Only one moderation can be in progress at a time: draft, creative A/B test, or build A/B test. While the draft is being reviewed, other types of moderation will be unavailable.
The application will be reviewed for compliance with the requirements. Moderation usually takes 3–5 working days.
You will see the review results in the Console:
-
If moderation approves the game, its status will change to:
- Published: the game will be published automatically.
- Verified, if the Postpone publication option is selected. The Publish button will appear on the Draft tab.
-
If the game is not approved, the draft status will change to Rejected. A notification with the reasons for rejection will be sent to the email linked to your Yandex ID. Make the necessary changes and resubmit the game for review.
After the draft status changes to Published, the new game version will appear in the Yandex Games catalog. After that, the draft will disappear from the game tree, and the Create draft button will appear on the Draft tab.
Note
The game status in the Console is updated only after reloading the page.
