Release Your Game to the Samsung Galaxy Store
Instructions to Submit to the Samsung Galaxy Store
Register for a Samsung Account
Before creating a Samsung Partner Account and submitting your game to the Samsung Galaxy Store, the game first needs to meet the following requirements:
- The game must be cash enabled and continue to meet the requirements for cash enablement.
- The game must pass a Skillz review conducted by our Content team.
If your game is cash enabled, submit a review request and our developer support team will provide guidance on the registration process.
You may then proceed to the steps below only after you've registered a Samsung Partner Account and met the criteria listed above.
Log into Your Samsung Account
Log into your Samsung Seller Partner Account. Once logged in, you’ll be brought to the page pictured below. Click Add New Application.
Register Your App
Next, you’ll see a modal to choose which application type to register. Select Android and select your Default Language. Click Next.
Enter Info
You’ll be brought to the screen below to enter general information about your game. Don’t worry if you plan to make any changes in future — you’ll still be able to edit this once you click Save.
Upload Your Binary
Next, it’s time to upload your binary! Click on the Binary tab on the left-hand side of your new application. Choose Add Binary and select the appropriate responses for your game, then click Save.
Enter Country and Price
Fill out the Country & Price section. This can be found underneath the Binary tab on the left-hand side of your new application. Choose Free for Price and check the box for US Export Laws. Click Save.
