# Publish your game
> Export one file from the editor, make your store page in Summer Studio, upload, and go live on summer.games once Summer has reviewed it.
Publishing takes your project to a page on summer.games that players can find,
download and play. You export your game as one file in the editor, make its
store page in Summer Studio, upload the file, and submit the page for review.
Once Summer approves it, you choose when it goes live.
## Where players get your game
Your game's own page, with art, screenshots and a trailer.
Players download and play your game in the Summer apps.
A multiplayer game can go to iPhone, Mac and Windows, and Summer runs its
server for you. A single-player game goes to iPhone.
## How it works
Saving a draft or uploading a file never releases your game. Nothing reaches
players until Summer has approved your page and you choose to go live.
In the editor, open **Project > Export**, pick the **summer.games** preset
and click **Export Project**. You get one `.zip` file with everything
Summer needs: your game and, for a multiplayer game, its server.
Go to [summerengine.com/publish](https://summerengine.com/publish), enter
your game's title and click **Create store page**. Studio then walks you
through it: the platforms you're releasing on, a tagline and description,
tags, key art, screenshots and an icon, and your game's age rating. A live
preview of your summer.games page sits next to the form.
Make your game free and earn from Sparks spent in it, or set a price
players pay once. See [Charge for your game and accept tips](/build/paid-games).
In **Check and submit**, upload your export under **Your exported game**
and give it a version, such as `v1.0.0`. Summer checks it for every
platform you picked and shows **Checks passed** or what needs a fix.
Click **Submit for review**. Summer staff look at your store page, and
Studio shows where your game is in the review.
Once your game is approved, click **Go live**. Your page is at
`summer.games/games/`, ready to share.
Want feedback before you go live? **Share a preview** in Studio makes a
private link to your store page that expires on its own.
Want your AI agent to do all of this? It can fill the store page, make the
art, export, upload and submit through the Summer Engine MCP, and stop at
one **Approve publishing** click for you. See
[Create and publish your game](/publishing/summer-games).
## Get your game ready
Before the first upload, your agent can check that the project exports
cleanly: the right platforms are ticked in the summer.games preset, textures
are set up for every platform, and a multiplayer game has its server preset.
Get my Summer multiplayer game ready to publish on summer.games. Use the
Summer `multiplayer-publish` skill; if you don't have it installed, find it in
the Summer library.
* Set up everything the summer.games export needs, including the server
preset.
* Run the checks the skill lists before exporting, and fix what fails.
* Export the summer.games `.zip` and tell me where it is and which platforms it
covers.
Read my project first and tell me what you'll change before you change it.
Get my Summer single-player game ready to publish on summer.games. Use the
Summer `export-and-ship` skill; if you don't have it installed, find it in
the Summer library.
* Set up the summer.games export preset for iPhone.
* Check that the game starts from its main scene and runs without errors.
* Export the summer.games `.zip` and tell me where it is.
Read my project first and tell me what you'll change before you change it.
Read my Summer project and write the text for its summer.games store page:
* a tagline of at most 80 characters;
* a desktop description of 120–300 characters and a mobile one of 120–170;
* 3–8 tags.
Base it on what the game actually does. Then list five screenshot ideas
that show it best, as 16:9 shots without any text on them.
## Update your game
Export again with a new version number, such as `v1.1.0`, and click **Upload a
new export** in Studio. When it shows **Checks passed**, open **Versions**, pick
the new version and click **Promote to production**. Players keep the current
version until the new one is live. Changes to a live store page go through
review again before they appear.
I want to publish an update to my Summer game. Use the Summer
`multiplayer-publish` skill for a multiplayer game or `export-and-ship` for a
single-player game; if you don't have them installed, find them in the Summer
library.
Bump the version, run the checks, export a new summer.games `.zip`, and write
me a short list of what changed since the last version for the update notes.
## Not sure you're ready?
Read my Summer project and tell me whether it's ready to publish on
summer.games. Use the Summer `multiplayer-publish` or `export-and-ship`
skill, whichever fits my game; if you don't have them installed, find them in
the Summer library. Don't change any files yet.
Tell me:
1. which platforms my game can go to and what the export needs for each;
2. anything that would fail Summer's checks, and how to fix it;
3. what I still need for the store page: text, art and the age rating.
