Haegin has made an exciting move by bringing their popular social gaming platform, Play Together, to Steam. Now available for both mobile and desktop users, the game supports cross-play, allowing seamless interaction between players on different devices. But why now? Let's explore some possible reasons behind this strategic decision.

For those unfamiliar with Play Together, the game lets you create your own avatar and explore the vibrant world of Kaia Island. You can interact with other players, participate in various minigames, and even customize your personal player home. While it has been a staple on mobile devices for some time, the PC release signifies Haegin's intent to expand its reach.

My guess is that Haegin aims to attract a broader player base. Play Together shares similarities with many social gaming experiences found on platforms like Roblox. However, until now, it has primarily catered to a mobile audience, leaving the desktop market untapped.

With over 200 million downloads and a constant stream of in-game events and updates, Play Together's popularity is undeniable. Haegin seems eager to leverage account-linking rewards and celebratory events to draw in a wider audience on Steam. Though it may not replicate the same level of success it enjoys on mobile, that's not necessarily the goal. The inclusion of cross-play is crucial, as it caters to players who enjoy gaming across both mobile and desktop platforms. Will this move encourage longer play sessions? Only time will tell.
