Application Statuses

Your application will go through different statuses as the developer reviews it.

Status Types​

Pending​

Your application has been submitted and is waiting for the developer to review it. You'll receive an email when a decision is made. While pending, you can withdraw the application if you change your mind.

Approved​

The developer has accepted your application. This means:

  • A game key has been assigned to you (if keys are available in the program)
  • You can reveal your key from the application details
  • You're expected to create and submit content about the game
  • You may have a content deadline and program requirements to follow

Rejected​

The developer has declined your application. A rejection reason may be included in the notification email.

Withdrawn​

You've cancelled your own pending application. This action cannot be undone.

Status Flow​

Submitted → Pending → Approved
                    → Rejected
            Pending → Withdrawn (by you)

Email Notifications​

You'll receive email notifications when:

  • Your application is approved (with key information if a key was assigned)
  • Your application is rejected (with an optional reason from the developer)

After Approval​

Once approved, your application detail page will show:

  1. Your game key — Reveal and copy it
  2. Embargo date (if set) — Do not publish content before this date
  3. Content deadline (if set) — Submit your content by this date
  4. Content guidelines — The developer's expectations for your content
  5. Submit content — Submit your content through the Creator Portal
