Haegin's popular social gaming platform, Play Together, is now available on Steam, bringing cross-play functionality between mobile and desktop versions. This expansion onto a new platform presents several potential reasons.
Play Together, a game where players create avatars and explore Kaia Island, interacting with others, playing minigames, and decorating homes, has enjoyed considerable mobile success. The Steam release likely aims to expand its player base. The game shares similarities with Roblox, yet Play Together's audience has been primarily mobile until now. This desktop release targets a previously untapped market.
With over 200 million mobile downloads, Play Together’s popularity is undeniable. While frequently highlighted through in-game events and updates, the Steam launch, complete with account-linking rewards and celebratory events, signals Haegin's ambition to attract a wider audience. While it may not replicate the mobile success, the addition of cross-play is crucial for retaining players who use both platforms. The longer playtime resulting from cross-play remains to be seen.
