Spot soft launches before they go worldwide

Find the apps and games studios are quietly testing in a few countries.

2 min readOpen Soft launches

Studios often release a new app in a handful of countries first, to test it before the big launch. Those apps tell you what the big players are betting on next.

  1. Open Soft launches

    The page lists recent apps that are live in only a few storefronts, with the countries they are in.

  2. See where they test

    “Where they test” counts the most used test markets. “Studios testing most” shows who has several tests running.

  3. Follow one

    Open the app and press Save. You will see when it adds countries, ships versions or changes its store page.

Pictures show a demo account. The names and numbers in them are examples, not live data.
