adminCreators.gg is a new platform designed to help game studios work with content creators of all sizes. Launched by player relationship and marketing platform FirstLook, it bases creator rewards on performance rather than follower count. IO Interactive and Brain Jar Games are among its launch partners.
During beta testing, more than 10,000 creators signed up. The service also offers opportunities to access playtests and unreleased content for selected multiplatform games, giving participating creators a way to engage with titles before their broader release.

How Creators.gg rewards creators
Creators.gg describes its model as a “battle pass for streaming.” Creators publish content and monitor its views on the platform. As their content reaches viewership milestones, they can unlock rewards. The approach focuses on the engagement generated by a creator’s content instead of using audience size as the sole measure of value.
That structure may be relevant to smaller channels that have an engaged audience but fewer followers than established creators. Before joining a campaign, creators should check its specific requirements, eligible content formats, milestones, and reward terms; these details can vary by campaign.
The platform says creators can use low payout thresholds, instant bank transfers, PayPal withdrawals, and regional payment options. Payment methods and availability may depend on location, so creators should review the terms shown for their account before relying on a particular withdrawal option.
Launch partners and studio campaigns
FirstLook says Creators.gg can give studios a direct way to create campaigns and connect with creators. The platform also supports customisation tools for tailored game experiences, according to IO Interactive social media and influencer manager Gabriel Begorgis.
Begorgis said the service has made creator campaigns easier to run at IO Interactive and has helped the company reach creators across different audience sizes. He highlighted the ability to build relationships and recognise creator contributions through platform rewards. The company’s comments point to a campaign model that can include both established channels and smaller community-focused creators.
For creators, early access to a playtest or unreleased game content can offer material for coverage, but access is tied to the opportunities available through the platform and its studio partners. Creators should follow any campaign instructions and content restrictions provided by the relevant studio.
What Creators.gg could mean for creators
FirstLook CEO Eden Chen said the goal is to build stronger relationships between game makers and content creators while linking rewards to engagement. The company’s stated aim is to give creators access, tools, and financial support that can help them develop their channels over time.
Creators.gg enters the market with a performance-based approach and partnerships with IO Interactive and Brain Jar Games. For creators considering the service, the practical next step is to compare each campaign’s milestones, eligibility rules, and payment terms. Studios, meanwhile, can use the platform to engage with creators at different stages of audience growth.
