How can we help?

Player Two is a game store and a launchpad in one place. In the store you buy games, or add free ones to your library, and play them. On the launchpad you back games that are still being made, and share in every sale they make once they’re out.

A developer asks for money to make their game: a goal, split into stages of work. You put in what you like, from the smallest stake up. Player Two holds the money and pays each stage to the developer only once they show proof that it’s done. If a raise falls short of its goal, everyone gets their money back in full. Once the game sells, its backers share a part of every sale.

Any developer with an account. A game goes live the moment it’s submitted. Before a raise can take money, its developer proves who they are with Didit (a photo of an official ID and a selfie); developers who only sell their games or give them away aren’t asked. Every game has to follow our content policy.

Nothing, to look around and play free web games. To buy, back, wishlist or add games to your library, sign in with email, Google, Discord, X or a crypto wallet. Your wallet is made for you the first time you sign in.

When you first sign in, you get a wallet of your own, made for you by Privy, the company that runs sign-in for us. There’s nothing to install and no recovery phrase to keep. Everything you pay on Player Two comes from this wallet, and everything paid to you lands in it. Its balance shows at the foot of your profile.

Dollars. Behind the scenes they are held as USDC, a digital dollar meant to be worth one US dollar each, on the Base network; you never need to deal with that. Every price on Player Two is in dollars.

Press Add funds at the foot of your profile, or on any game when you’re short. Pick an amount and pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank; it lands in your wallet in a few minutes, and a purchase you started goes on by itself. Already have crypto? The same window shows your wallet’s address to send USDC on Base to.

No. Player Two pays the network fees on every payment and every payout. A card or bank top-up runs through a payment provider, which may charge its own fee for that. Player Two adds no fee to top-ups.

It shows each step: getting it ready, paying from your wallet, making it yours. Nothing leaves your wallet until you press Buy or Invest, and a payment can only be made once, however many times or windows you press it in.

Open the game’s page and press Buy, then Buy now. A moment later the game is in your library and yours to play, and your receipt is in your email.

Player Two keeps 10% of every sale. If the game raised money here, its backers share the part of each sale its developer promised them. The developer gets the rest. See Fees for a worked example.

Press Play on its page. A paid web game opens from a play link made just for you, which lasts 6 hours; the page asks for a fresh one each time you play. Some games are played on their developer’s own site: those are the developer’s responsibility, not ours. For games you install, see Downloads.

A second purchase of a game you already own is sent straight back to your wallet. You don’t need to do anything. Like every payout, it’s checked by Player Two before it goes out.

There’s no refund button for a purchase. If something went wrong, write to hello@playertwo.lol and tell us what happened.

Open its page and press Add to library. You need to be signed in for that. Free web games also play without an account.

The games you bought, the free games you added, and the games that came with a backer pass. Games you backed show there too, so you can follow them.

Yes. In your profile, press the eye on a game’s cover. A hidden game stays yours. To bring it back, open your full profile page, find it under Hidden, and show it again.

It’s how many people have that game in their library.

Press the heart on any game to put it on your wishlist (sign in first), and press it again to take it off. The number beside the heart is how many players have it on theirs. The room has a Wishlist tab with all of yours.

A developer’s ask for money to make their game. Every raise sets out:

• a goal: the whole amount asked for;
• a smallest stake: the least one backer can put in;
• a closing date, a set number of days after it opens;
• the backers’ share: the part of every sale that goes to backers;
• a planned price: what the game will cost at launch;
• stages: parts of the work, each paying out its share of the money, adding up to 100%.

Once a raise is open, these terms can’t change.

Open the game’s page and go to Your cut. Choose your stake and see what it could make. Then review it, tick the box that says you understand the risk, and confirm. Approve the payment in your wallet. You get the next backer number, and a backer pass if your stake is at least the game’s planned price.

Only what the raise still needs. A stake can’t be less than the smallest stake, or more than what’s left. When less than the smallest stake is left, you can put in exactly what’s left.

The raise closes the moment it’s full, and the first stage of work is under way. Each stage is due a set number of days after that.

When its closing date comes and the goal isn’t met, every backer is refunded in full.

It’s sent straight back to your wallet, and we tell you.

A share of every sale the game makes on Player Two, for as long as it sells. The backers’ share of each sale is split among all backers by what each put in. If your stake is at least the game’s planned price, you also get a backer pass, and the game is yours free on launch day.

Not while a raise runs. Money comes back only when a raise closes short, when backers vote for a refund, or when Player Two refunds what’s left. See Refunds.

No. Developers can’t back, object to or vote on their own games.

A part of the work, with something to show at the end of it, a share of the money, and a deadline. A raise’s stages add up to 100% of what it raised.

The developer posts proof: a link backers can check, like a public build or a video. Backers then have 3 days to object. With no objection, the stage is paid to the developer, less Player Two’s 5%, and the next stage begins.

If you backed the game, press This doesn’t meet the objective under the proof, say what’s wrong, and send it. Your objection opens a vote of all the game’s backers.

It lasts 5 days. Every backer can vote, and you can change your vote while it’s open. Votes count by the dollars each backer put in. On an objection, backers choose between paying the stage out and refunding what’s left. The side with more dollars behind it wins.

If a stage’s deadline passes without proof, a vote opens by itself. Backers choose between giving the developer 30 more days and refunding what’s left. If the developer posts proof during that vote, the vote ends and the proof gets its own 3 days for objections.

For a vote to count, backers holding at least 20% of the money must vote. If too few vote, Player Two reviews the stage and decides: pay it, give more time, or refund what’s left.

It sends back everything that hasn’t been paid out yet, to every backer in proportion to their stake. Stages already paid out stay paid.

To your Player Two wallet. Like every payout, it’s checked by a Player Two admin before it’s sent, and you get a notice once it’s on its way. Refunds carry no fee.

No. Dollars that came back don’t count as backed.

A collectible card for backing a game with at least its planned price. It carries your backer number, and it brings the game: it’s in your library, and yours free on launch day. Its rarity comes from your stake:

1. CommonThe planned price
2. Rare$100 or more
3. Epic$250 or more
4. Legendary$1,000 or more
5. Mythic$2,500 or more
6. Divine$10,000 or more

Each stake counts on its own, and its rarity is set when you back: two $100 stakes bring two Rare passes, not one Epic. If a game will be free at launch, every stake brings a pass.

Yes. Every pass has its own page, and its link shows the card. Press a pass in your profile to bring it up close and share it.

Every player has one. It looks like a backer pass and shows your name and your points, and its rarity climbs as your points do. Press it in your profile to see it up close.

Each rarity takes ten times the points of the one before. The last two columns show what that comes to if you only back games, or only buy them:

Each sale of a game you backed adds your share to what you’re owed. Once it comes to $1 or more, press Claim at the foot of your profile. It’s paid to your Player Two wallet.

The backers’ share of each sale is split among backers by what each has in the raise. Say backers share 40% and you hold 1% of all the money backed: each $15.00 sale earns you $0.06, which is 1% of the $6.00 that goes to backers.

For now, a Player Two admin checks every payout before it’s sent, claims included, so it isn’t instant. You get a notice once it’s sent.

Two ways. Each stage of a raise is paid out as it clears, less Player Two’s 5%. And each sale adds to the studio’s balance, which the developer claims from their studio, from $1.

To the studio’s payout address: the developer’s Player Two wallet, unless they change it in their studio. It has to be an address that takes USDC on Base.

For now, a Player Two admin reviews and approves every payout before it’s sent: stage payouts, refunds and claims. And when a studio changes its payout address, its payouts are held for 2 days, so nobody can quietly send its money somewhere else. You get a notice when the address changes. If it wasn’t you, tell us at once.

Only if you raise money. Before your raise can take any, you photograph an official ID and take a selfie with Didit, our identity partner, from your studio; it takes about two minutes. Selling games or giving them away needs no check.

Raised money is held in Player Two’s treasury, a wallet protected by Privy’s rules: our server alone can only send USDC on Base, and only up to a set amount. Anything larger needs an admin’s own key as well.

A library for the games you install, like the ones you know from other stores. Sign in once and it lists every game you own and every demo; one press installs a game, a download that stops picks up where it left off, a new version from its developer installs with one more press, and Play starts it. Get it on the app’s page, for Mac and Windows.

Developers can upload builds for Windows, Mac and Linux, as a demo, a full version, or both. A game’s page offers what its developer uploaded.

Demos: anyone signed in. Full versions: only the game’s owners, who bought it or got it with a backer pass.

Each download link is made for you, and it expires after 10 minutes. Get a fresh one from the game’s page. Please don’t share your links: they’re personal. The Player Two app takes care of this by itself: it asks for a fresh link whenever it needs one and carries on from where it stopped.

Yes. Every new upload is reviewed by Player Two before players can get it.

You choose, kind by kind, in your notification settings:

• Game updates: news posted by the developers of games you back.
• Raises you back: funded, proof posted, votes, stage payouts and refunds.
• Your wishlist: a game on it comes out, goes on sale or gets a demo. Each once per game.
• Friends: a player asks to be your friend, or says yes to you.
• Money: payouts to you. These are always on.

Emails go to the address you signed in with. If you signed in with a wallet, X or Discord, we have no email address to send to; your notices still show in your profile.

Yes: press Edit profile in your profile or on your page. A name is 2 to 32 letters, numbers and spaces. Your handle, the name in your page’s address, can change once every 30 days; links to the old one keep leading to you, and nobody else can take it for 90 days. A few names, like Admin, Support and Player Two, are kept for us.

Put up a picture (it’s cropped square, shown round), or keep your pixel creature, which stays yours even if you change your handle. Add a few words about yourself, one website, and the accounts you have elsewhere: X, Discord, Twitch, TikTok, Telegram and GitHub are linked through your sign-in, so they show as yours, and you choose which show on your page.

Both. Follow anyone from a leaderboard, a review or their page, and what they buy, back, review and add shows in the feed in your profile. Never how much. Add a friend the same way, or by their handle in your profile: once they say yes, you see each other’s activity, and they come first when you send a gift.

In your profile’s privacy settings, choose who sees your activity and your friends (everyone, only your friends, or only you), and whether your name shows on the leaderboards.

Points on your player pass: 100 for each friend who arrives through a link you share, signs up and buys or backs a game within 30 days. The first link a friend arrives through is the one that counts. Points only, never money.

Yes. From your profile, download everything we hold about you as a file.

From your profile. Claim anything you’re owed first. Your wallet stays yours: it lives with Privy, not with us.

Press Report this game at the foot of its page, choose what’s wrong, and add anything that helps us check. You don’t need to be signed in. You can also email hello@playertwo.lol with a link to the game. Our content policy says what happens next.

Write to hello@playertwo.lol and tell us which game or account, and why. See appeals.
