FAQ


1. I am based in a non-eligible country but I have operations / interest in LATAM. Can I still apply?

No, this program is currently only available for legal entities registered in LATAM.

2. How many studios will you select and how much cash will each studio get?

We will select about 10 studios. Each studio will get between 150,000 and 200,000 USD. Each studio is responsible for covering any taxes that may be applicable. 

3. My game is not on Google Play / is not mobile. Can I still apply?
Yes, you can apply even if your game is currently only available on PC, Console or other mobile platforms. In this case, part of the funding must be used to port the game to Android and make it available on Google Play. 
 
4. Can I apply with an already developed game and use the funding to develop a new one?
We will prioritise games that use the funding to port to Android and make it available on Google Play, and/or investments to help grow the mobile game on Google Play. If you have additional plans for the funds use please let us know through the application form.
 
5. Will only games with a premium business model be accepted?
Games with any business model will be considered. However, all selected games will need to be made available on Google Play Pass, where users pay for the subscription, and all game content is unlocked - this requires that the game design is compatible with the Play Pass business model.
 
6. Where can I learn more about how Play Pass works?
You can get more details on https://play.google.com/about/play-pass/
