How it works
You use GameTune by determining your target KPI for each optimization point in your game. Next, you create different alternatives for GameTune to choose.
For example, you can optimize your first-time user experience to improve player retention. Players can receive a short, medium or long tutorial, depending on their skill level and past behavior. GameTune then assigns each player the alternative that maximizes your target KPI.
Choose a metric
GameTune’s machine learning model can optimize retention, lifetime value (LTV) or conversion rate. Choose a metric that is relevant for your use case.
Define alternatives
Short, medium, or long tutorial? Show $1 or $5 offer bundle? Tell us your alternatives and GameTune will choose the best one to show each user.
Describe your player
GameTune powers your player-specific game data with Unity’s dataset to work smarter.
Optimize your game
Each player in your game will get a personalized experience, powered by Unity’s machine learning.
“Before GameTune, we ran a dozen A/B tests for Off-Road Travel and saw little or negative impact. Partnership with GameTune allowed us to optimize our game and achieve the expected performance. We’re now working on implementing GameTune across more games in our portfolio.”
“With the help of GameTune, we are able to release our new features with intelligence because we don’t have to manually identify the right player segments for each gameplay experience. GameTune does this automatically for us.”
“Only big players can do machine learning, so we’re happy to be able to have Unity offering this type of service.”
“The time we save on testing now gets put into developing and optimizing new features. Thanks to GameTune, we have the power of a large machine learning team to deliver the best experience to our players.”
We used GameTune to increased day 30 ARPU by 15% by optimizing interstitial ad frequency.

The GameTune SDK automatically collects some information about the player and their device. You can provide additional information as key-value pairs to the GameTune system to describe the current player state and what the player has done in the past to improve GameTune’s decision-making power for your players. This additional information will help GameTune better differentiate players from each other.
Yes, each GameTune question can optimize for a different target. For example, you can optimize button colors for click-throughs and IAP promotions for revenue.
