Every game launch needs a trailer, but not every game dev has a trailer budget. Indie developers, mobile game studios, and solo creators need high-quality video assets for their Steam page, app store listing, and social launch — without months of production work or a cinematic team. Every video is $2.99 — clean 1080p, no watermark, commercial use included. Generate multiple clips to build a full store trailer, tease new content on TikTok, or create paid ad creative for your user acquisition campaigns.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Steam and itch.io store page trailers

Assemble 3–5 clips showing different environments, gameplay moments, or characters into a store page trailer. A polished trailer is the single highest-impact element on a Steam store page.

Mobile game App Store and Google Play previews

Generate vertical (9:16) trailer clips of your mobile game's most engaging moments for App Store and Google Play preview videos. Visual impact in the first 3 seconds is the critical metric.

TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts teasers

Post short cinematic clips from your game world to build a following before and after launch. Short-form game teaser content performs well organically on TikTok and Reels — especially for indie titles with distinctive art styles.
