Update a game
Once your game has been published, you can edit its parameters and source code. When you make changes, the game has to pass moderation again. While it is under moderation, the catalog will display the previous version of the game.
To update your game:
-
Check that your game meets the requirements.
-
Log in to the Games Console from your developer account.
-
Click Applications in the upper-left corner of the Games Console.
-
Find the game you want to update in the list and click its name.
-
Open the draft:
- If you're editing the game for the first time, click Create draft.
- If you have a draft, it opens automatically.
- If the game has unpublished versions, click the name of any of them.
-
Edit the fields and upload a new archive.
For a detailed description of the fields, see Add a game.
-
Click Submit for moderation.
Note
If your game was under moderation more than 100 days ago, you'll see a warning saying that the requirements may have changed. To check if the game meets the requirements, cancel the submission for moderation.
The status of the draft changes to Waiting for moderation.
Moderators will review your app for compliance with the requirements, in the order it was received. Moderation usually takes from three to five working days.
You can see the results in the dashboard:
- If the game passes moderation, the draft status changes to Verified and the Publish button appears on the Draft tab. Proceed to step 8.
- If the game fails moderation, the draft status changes to Rejected and you'll receive an email specifying the reasons for that. The previous version of the app remains in the catalog. Edit it based on our feedback and return to step 6.
-
Click Publish. The draft status changes to Published within a few minutes and the new game version appears in the Yandex Games catalog.
After this, the draft will disappear from the game tree and the Create draft button will appear on the Draft tab.
