Your progress

Creator rank

Your REVLauncher rank is based on attributed game sales. The ranks are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Legend.

Your track record

Reputation

Developer reviews of the coverage you submit contribute to your reputation. A game can set a minimum reputation requirement.

Your follow-through

Fulfillment ratio

This reflects how consistently you submit content for the promotional keys you receive. Share your published links to keep your record up to date.

Check the game page for your current status.

A game may also require a verified payout identity. If you don’t meet its rules or keys have run out, you can explore another game. Availability and approval depend on that game’s settings.

Once your key is granted

Play it. Make it yours.
Show what you created.

Your key stays hidden in your creator dashboard until you choose to reveal it. Activate it on Steam, play the game, and create original coverage in your own style.

A few useful answers

More about how to make money playing games through creator coverage and revenue sharing.

Read the creator agreement
How do I make money playing games with REVLauncher?

Discover a game, request a promotional key if you qualify, and publish original coverage. Share your creator store link or promo code so eligible purchases can be attributed to you. Your earnings follow the game’s applicable creator revenue rate.

Do I get paid just for playing or receiving a key?

No. Earnings come from eligible sales attributed to your creator link or code. A promotional key gives you access to a game you plan to cover; it does not guarantee payment, a sponsorship, or minimum earnings.

What if I don’t meet a game’s key requirements?

Each developer sets their own access rules. Check the game page for your status, make sure your profile and any required payout identity are complete, and keep submitting coverage for keys you receive. You can also explore other games with different requirements. Keys are limited and access is not guaranteed.

How do creator rank, reputation, and fulfillment work?

Rank reflects attributed game sales. Reputation reflects developer reviews of your submitted coverage. Fulfillment reflects how consistently you submit coverage for promotional keys. The game’s access panel shows which requirements apply to you.

Where do I publish and submit my content?

Publish on your own channel, then submit up to three links for the key in your creator dashboard. Supported labels include YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, X, and other public links. Clearly disclose the promotional key and share your honest opinion.

How much can I earn, and how do I get paid?

There is no fixed earning amount. Your revenue depends on eligible attributed sales and the rate for each game. Review your earnings and available balance in the dashboard, complete payout setup, and request funds when they are eligible under the current payout terms.

Do I need a large following or a positive review?

A game’s access checks use your REVLauncher record and any required payout identity, rather than follower counts or video views. You still need to meet its rules and have available keys. A positive review is never required: your coverage should be honest and disclose that you received a key.
