How to Encourage Players to Add Your Game to Their Steam Wishlist
In order for more people to add your game to their wishlist on Steam, make sure your store front is ready when announcements are made. For many developers, this is the key to pre-launch success as it shows that players are interested in your title and want to stay informed about it.
Jake Birkett, founder of Grey Alien Games, suggests that one way to increase your wishlists before launch is by making a big announcement and running an exclusive sale for your game after it launches. Corey Warning – co-founder of indie studio Rose City Games – concurs that having an impressive wishlist is essential in pre-launch marketing strategies.
