STEAM BUNDLE MATCHMAKING
Bundles are the cheapest visibility boost on Steam - if you find the right partner. Swipe through curated indie games, match with a developer who wants to bundle with you, and ship it together.
And matchmaking is just the front door: the same account unlocks key mailings to 24,000+ content creators, free Steam page audits and a whole toolbox for indie launches.

MORE THAN BUNDLE MATCHMAKING
One free account opens the whole launch toolkit - for developers on this side, and for the content creators we connect you with on the other.
Creator mailings that move keys
Load your Steam keys and we mail them to a best-fit slice of our 24,000+ content-creator base - or to the whole base. You watch opens, key claims and the waitlist live, key by key.
Free Steam page audits
Queue an automated audit of your store page: completeness checklist, genre benchmarks, pricing and release-timing analysis - delivered to your inbox, free, as often as once a week per game.
Localization that knows your game
Upload your strings (Godot/Unity CSV, Unreal PO or JSON), see the price first, edit the proposed glossary and get every language back with placeholders checked on each string. Built on Gemini, priced at cost x2, from $9.99 per job.
A growing developer toolbox
Steam key checker, bundle art generator, the Bundle Autopilot Chrome extension that clicks through Steamworks with you, and a community blacklist of suspicious key claimers.
Your keys in front of vetted creators
Drop keys into our Creator Hub and hundreds of human-approved YouTubers, streamers and curators can grab them. Every account is reviewed by a person - no bots, no key resellers.
Coverage that reports itself
A bot watches YouTube, Steam curators and the wider web for videos, reviews and mentions of your game - and shows exactly who claimed which key, so you stay in control.
A direct line between devs and creators
Creators message you inside the hub, wishlist your game and request keys by name; you see each claimer's public profile and track record. Two communities, one roof.

SEE HOW IT WORKS
WHY BUNDLE?
The cheapest visibility on Steam
A bundle is a store-page presence on someone else's game - permanently. Every visitor to your partner's page sees your game in the 'complete the set' box. No ad spend, no algorithm luck.
Borrow each other's audience
Your partner's wishlisters and owners are already buyers of games like yours. A bundle puts your game in front of them at the exact moment they're in a buying mood.
A launch-beat for free
A new bundle is news: a reason for a social post, a Discord ping, a curator mail - for both studios at once. Two communities amplify one release.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Submit your game
Sign in with just your email and paste your Steam store link. Every game is verified - instantly if your email matches the game, otherwise by a quick manual check - no shovelware, no asset flips.
2. Swipe potential partners
Browse curated games that could sell next to yours. Like the ones you'd bundle with, pass on the rest. Nobody sees your choices.
3. Match with a developer
When two developers like each other's games, it's a match - you both get each other's contact details instantly by email.
4. Launch the bundle
Mad Octopus helps matched pairs ship: bundle artwork, store copy and a suggested discount, built from both games' assets.
WHAT YOU GET IN THE DEV HUB
Swipe matchmaking with Fit score
A curated deck of games that could sell next to yours, each scored for genre, price and audience fit. Like, pass, undo - nobody sees your choices until it's mutual.
Built-in chat
Matched? Talk right in the hub - no hunting for emails. You also get the studio's profile and contact, and can pick up where you left off anytime.
Ready-made bundle kit
Every match comes with a generated asset pack in all six Steamworks formats, a store-description draft and a suggested discount with the reasoning spelled out.
Launch-window planner
The kit suggests concrete two-week windows that dodge Next Fests and seasonal sales, so your bundle doesn't drown in Steam's own noise.
Your game's pulse
See how many developers reviewed your game, how many liked it and how your matches are progressing - per game, at a glance.
Curated pool, real studios
Every game is verified before it enters the deck - by a matching developer email or a manual check by the Mad Octopus team. No shovelware, no asset flips, no bots - just developers who actually ship.
All of it built by an indie Steam publisher that ships bundles for its own games.
