The move makes GameByte the only social publisher in the world to own every step of the consumer journey.

The GameByte shop will stock over 1000 products including video games, next-gen consoles and gaming accessories

A proprietary e-commerce platform will provide media buyers with total transparency and insight

84% of GameByte’s surveyed followers* said they want to buy with GameByte

Manchester-based GameByte, the gaming brand owned by global social agency and publishing house, Social Chain, is venturing into e-commerce with the launch of The GameByte shop.

On November 9, GameByte’s audience of more than 6 million gamers will be introduced to over 1000 products including merchandise, gaming accessories, hardware, next-gen consoles and games. The shop will act as an extension of the GameByte website GameByte.com, which hosts its gaming news coverage and features.

Gaming enthusiasts will be able to buy directly from the store or purchase through social by simply clicking on one of GameByte’s Facebook videos, which average more than 25 million views every month.

GameByte’s mantra, ‘by gamers for gamers’, takes centre stage in the creation and launch of the shop, which was ideated based on a survey put to its audience that saw 84% of GameByte’s audience express a desire to buy with GameByte.

GameByte’s head, Rich White, said: “This isn’t just the next generation of GameByte, it’s the next gen of games media. Though it’s never been done before, we’re in the perfect position to launch a gaming e-commerce platform. We know our audience inside-out.”

The same survey found that one-third of gamers discover new brands on social media, emphasising the role that GameByte’s social following will play in the success of the shop.

Four-year-old GameByte has grown until this point by creating fan-centric original content and coverage for household gaming brands like Frontier and Logitech. In a first for games media, the GameByte brand will now become the client, using its tried-and-tested content strategy to market its own products as well as that of its clients.

The GameByte Shop will also act as ad inventory for clients, media buyers and affiliates, who will have the chance to tap into a market of an estimated 2.6 billion active gamers worldwide, a figure that is set to increase by 5% in 2021 to 2.725 billion.

While this is unprecedented in gaming, the move is reminiscent of the beauty brand Glossier’s strategy. Glossier first began as a publisher, Into The Gloss, and soon turned its editorial audience into paying customers, relying on their insight to create smash-hit products.

GameByte, of course, will benefit from the resources of parent company Social Chain, which will assist in content creation across editorial, social-first video and display ads, to promotional posts, performance marketing, driving traffic and customer acquisition.

Social Chain’s business development director, Sam Barrett, added: “We’re already a trusted source of gaming news and entertainment. Now with our proprietary e-commerce platform, we can provide a seamless purchase journey for both our community and for the world’s leading gaming companies, by owning every step involved to help them reach their customers.”

The shop is a natural next step for GameByte, but also hints at the upward trajectory that social commerce is on, with companies like Social Chain at the forefront. What’s more, it promises to demonstrate the power of community and social-first savvy in generating revenue for both the brand and its partners.

*These figures are based on a survey of 1,569 gamers from the GameByte community.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As summer comes to a close, 1spin4win brings a new adventure-themed slot, Lucky Safari Hold and Win, to its extensive collection of 150+ games. The title boasts all the provider’s signature style features — quality mathematics, simple mechanics, engaging graphics, and the timeless appeal of pure gambling. This makes the release a perfect choice for all types of players.

Lucky Safari Hold and Win is a classic 5×3 slot that offers an exciting treasure-hunting journey into the depths of the endless savanna. Traversing 243 sun-drenched ways,  players collect winning combinations featuring the grassland’s proud residents — graceful giraffes, swift zebras, wily hyenas, and the kingly lion. Rewards up to x1,300 of the original stake fill every spin with untamed excitement.

The safari takes an even more intense turn when the Hold and Win Bonus takes over the reels. The ultimate quest for savanna riches — the x100 and x1,000 roaring Jackpots — begins when three or more gold Coins land on the reels in a single spin. Players start with three respins and continue the treasure hunt until they either run out of respins or complete the grid.

Olga Bogdanova, the Art Director at 1spin4win, shared, We create games that appeal to every taste! This time, we’re taking players on a journey through Africa, showcasing its stunning wildlife and vibrant landscapes, all accompanied by the generous Hold and Win mechanic that boosts chances to claim precious rewards in the bonus round.”

Thanks to its colorful, lifelike visuals and engaging, straightforward gameplay, Lucky Safari Hold and Win has everything it takes to become 1spin4win’s most memorable summer release.
