Pitchify launches new service to connect developers and publishers

Briefing

Pitchify has launched Pitch Direct, a service designed to match developers with publishers based on clear criteria. This initiative addresses the often opaque nature of publisher relations, allowing developers to target publishers whose needs align with their projects. Currently, there are 15 open submissions from nine publishers, including notable names like Curve Games and Team17.

This service is particularly significant as it levels the playing field for developers, reducing reliance on informal networks and insider knowledge. By making the pitching process more transparent, Pitch Direct not only increases visibility for diverse developers but also encourages meaningful conversations, even if the outcomes are quick rejections.

“The publisher landscape can feel opaque and unpredictable.”
