Haegin, the creators behind the popular social gaming platform Play Together, have made a strategic move by bringing their game to Steam. Now, fans can enjoy seamless cross-play between mobile and desktop versions. This development raises an interesting question: why now? Let's dive into a few possibilities.
For those new to Play Together, it's a vibrant world set on Kaia Island where players can craft their avatars, explore, engage with others, participate in minigames, and even personalize their own homes. While the game has been a hit on mobile devices, the introduction to Steam could be Haegin's way of expanding its reach.
My educated guess is that Haegin aims to attract a broader audience. Play Together shares similarities with social gaming platforms like Roblox, yet it has primarily catered to mobile users until now. By tapping into the desktop market, Haegin could be looking to diversify its player base.
With over 200 million downloads, Play Together is undeniably popular, often highlighted by its frequent in-game events and updates. Haegin's enthusiasm to reach a wider audience on Steam is evident through account-linking rewards and celebratory events. However, it's unlikely that the game will replicate its mobile success on the desktop platform.
Yet, the goal might not be to achieve the same level of success. One of the key reasons for porting mobile games to desktop with cross-play is to retain players who enjoy gaming across both platforms. Whether this move will encourage longer playtimes remains to be seen.
