Hello! I’m a CEO of Cubic Games, the team behind Pixel Gun 3D, the #1 free-to-play title on Steam released in April by a number of players. I’d like to share with you what we learned while porting our FPS from mobile to PC.
Why Steam?
We decided to port Pixel Gun 3D to Steam after recognizing significant demand from both our players and our internal team. Over the past year, we saw a growing interest in a PC version. Additionally, many of our original players, who enjoyed Pixel Gun 3D a decade ago, have now transitioned to PC gaming. This demographic shift confirmed our hypothesis that a Steam release would attract nostalgic players, leading to a successful launch. The nostalgic appeal brought back many old players who were excited to experience the game on a new platform.
