About game-soft-launch-review
A marketing skill for planning and reviewing a game's soft launch. It structures cohort-based evaluation across product, monetization, technical readiness, acquisition, and store tests, producing gates and a scale, iterate, or stop decision record.
Key features
- 01Soft-launch context definition
- 02Cohort gates across key metrics
- 03Separation of learning and monetization tests
- 04Live-ops and instrumentation planning
- 05Scale, iterate, or stop decision record
Use cases
- 01Plan a regional game soft launch
- 02Compare cohort results before scaling acquisition
- 03Review retention, economy, and crash gates

Details
From the project READMEGame Soft Launch Review
Use this skill to convert a high-stakes product decision into a concrete, measurable, reviewable operating artifact.
Workflow
- Identify game genre, target market, test region, acquisition source, monetization model, core loop, and launch decision horizon.
- Read
references/game-soft-launch-patterns.md. - Define cohort gates across retention, session quality, economy, IAP, ads, crashes, store conversion, support, and community sentiment.
- Separate product learning, monetization tuning, technical readiness, acquisition quality, and creative/listing tests.
- Produce soft-launch plan, gate matrix, live-ops calendar, instrumentation, and scale/iterate/kill decision record.
When not to use
- Do not use for generic advice the base model already handles without this skill's specific artifact contract.
Guardrails
- Do not scale paid acquisition from blended metrics that hide low-quality cohorts.
- Do not over-monetize early cohorts in ways that invalidate retention learning.
- Do not treat one test market as global proof without market-fit caveats.
- Protect player trust around economy resets, purchases, ads, and support during test periods.
Output format
Soft-launch context:
Game / market / cohort / monetization:
Gate matrix:
| Gate | Metric | Segment | Pass | Watch | Stop | Action |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
Live-ops and economy review:
- <event/economy/ad/IAP/support item>
Decision record:
- <scale / iterate / hold / kill with evidence>
