On [Yandex Games](https://yandex.com/games/){.external}, your projects will easily find their audience: no downloads required, free to play. We bring users ourselves — not only from Russia, but from all over the world.

Publishing requirements on Yandex Games are lower than on Google Play and other platforms. For indie developers, this is an easy start and the first tangible money, while for experienced developers and studios, it's an additional source of income without marketing and acquisition costs.
