Frequently asked questions
What kind of creators should I target for survival games?
For an indie launch, focus on micro-influencers — roughly 1,000 to 100,000 followers — who already cover survival games. Genre fit and engagement matter more than raw reach: a smaller creator whose audience is exactly your target usually converts better than a large generalist. Co-op survival produces marathon multiplayer series with strong watch time.
How should I pitch my game to survival & crafting creators?
Lead with what this audience actually cares about and keep it concrete. Emphasize co-op support and the depth of your crafting and base systems. Send multi-key packs so creators can play with their regular co-op partners.
How do I find active survival creators to cover my game?
Search a comparable survival title in CreatorScout to pull a live list of YouTube and Twitch creators who have recently covered it, then filter by follower range, platform, language, and recency. Results are ranked by how closely each creator's content matches your game, so you can shortlist the best fits before you reach out.
Are YouTube or Twitch creators better for survival & crafting games?
Both matter, and the right mix depends on your game. Base-building progression keeps audiences returning across many episodes. CreatorScout searches YouTube and Twitch together, so you can compare creators across both platforms instead of committing to one upfront.
