What is PlayFirst
A crowdfunding platform built only for games.
General crowdfunding sites treat a game like any other product. PlayFirst is made for how games actually get made: playable demos up front, money that only moves when a goal is hit, and progress you can see in public.
- 01
Play the demo
Play the demo if there is one, right in your browser, before you decide.
Nothing to install. No account needed.
- 02
Pledge
Choose a tier. Your card is charged only if the game reaches its goal by the deadline.
You see the fee before you confirm.
- 03
Watch it get built
Builds, milestones and dev logs go on a public tracker, with every date in the open.
Every delay comes with a reason.
- 04
Get your key
Store keys and backer builds arrive in your library, ready to reveal.
Keys never travel by email.
- For players Back games you've played, not just watched a trailer for.
- For studios Reach players who fund games, with fees shown up front.
- For everyone A public build tracker, so nobody has to guess what's going on.
