How It Works
Submit your game with a bid starting at $5. Your bid determines your rank on the public leaderboard.
Players browse, vote, and click through to your Steam page or itch.io listing. Every click is real traffic
from people actively looking for new indie games to play.
Founding Games — First 30 Spots Free
We're launching with 30 free founding spots for indie developers. No payment required — just submit your
game and you'll be part of the launch-day leaderboard. First come, first served. All founding games launch
together on day one.
Why RankUp?
Indie game marketing is hard. Getting noticed on Steam is harder. RankUp gives indie developers a
simple, transparent way to get their game in front of players — without relying on algorithms,
influencer outreach, or social media luck.
- Transparent ranking — your position is based on your bid, nothing else
- Real player traffic — every click goes directly to your game page
- Community voting — players upvote their favorites
- Genre filtering — players find games in categories they love
- No lock-in — adjust your bid or leave anytime
For Players
Discover indie games you won't find in mainstream storefronts. Browse by genre, vote for your favorites,
and find your next hidden gem. RankUp surfaces games from independent developers who are actively
investing in getting discovered.
