Is presskit.gg really free?

Yes. The free tier includes everything you need for a single game press kit: beautiful themes, SEO optimization, Steam auto-import, media management, and more. It's not a demo or crippleware, and it won't expire after 30 days. No credit card required. Free forever.

Is this a successor to presskit() by Rami Ismail?

Spiritually, yes. presskit() was the gold standard for indie game press kits, but it hasn't been updated since 2017 and breaks on modern hosting. presskit.gg picks up where presskit() left off with the same philosophy, modern technology, and a WordPress-native approach.

Will it break my WordPress theme?

No. presskit.gg uses its own template system for press kit pages, so your existing WordPress theme remains completely untouched. The plugin only affects the press kit URLs it creates. Your homepage, blog, and all other pages are perfectly safe.

Is it only for games?

presskit.gg is designed specifically for game studios and indie developers. The factsheet fields, media management, and themes are all optimized for game press kits. If you're making games, this is built for you.

Go to your WordPress dashboard, then Plugins, Add New, and search for 'presskit'. Install and activate. That's it. You can also download it from WordPress.org and upload the plugin manually.

What if I don't have WordPress?

Currently presskit.gg requires WordPress. We're considering a hosted option for studios who don't want to manage WordPress. Vote if you'd be interested.

Does it work with any WordPress theme?

Yes. presskit.gg works with any standard WordPress theme. It renders press kit pages using its own built-in themes, independent of your site's theme. Whether you're using Astra, GeneratePress, or a custom theme, it just works.

What is the meaning of life?

42. But more practically, the meaning of a game developer's life is shipping games. presskit.gg handles the press kit part so you can get back to what matters.

The Problem

Press kits shouldn't require a subscription. Or a time machine.

presskit() is dead

The OG press kit tool hasn't shipped an update since 2017. FTP uploads, PHP 5 errors, and existential dread on modern hosting. RIP.

SaaS tools want your wallet

€9/month for a web page? Really? Plus you don't own your data, and when they pivot to AI, your press kit goes poof.

DIY = amateur hour

Google Drive links. Notion pages. That Dropbox folder from 2019. Journalists see your press kit before your game. Make it count.

The Fix

One plugin. Zero subscriptions. Your domain.

Install. Paste your Steam ID. Pick a theme. Press kit goes live. Get back to your game.

Your Domain. Your Rules.

No iframes, no external hosting, no middlemen. Just a plugin on your WordPress site. You own everything.

Actually Looks Good

Multiple themes that don't scream '2012 WordPress blog'. Dark mode because we're not animals.

SEO That Works

JSON-LD, Open Graph, Twitter Cards — all the nerdy stuff that makes Google actually find you.

Ship in 10 Minutes

Paste your Steam App ID, tweak some text, hit publish. Done. Go back to making your game.

How it works

Just 3 steps to get started

1. Install the Plugin

Search 'presskit' in WordPress plugins. Install and activate. Done.

2. Add Your Game

Fill in the factsheet: title, description, platforms, screenshots, trailer, pricing.

3. Publish & Share

Pick a theme, hit publish. Share your presskit.gg URL with journalists and streamers.

What Devs Are Saying

Finally a proper successor to presskit(). Setup took 8 minutes. My press page looks better than my actual website now.

Marcus Chen

Indie Developer

Journalists respond faster now that our press page looks professional. We got 3x more coverage for our last launch.
