Good games deserve more than a moment in the feed.
The Switchboard is our independently curated discovery console, connecting readers with indie and AA games through platform, mood and play-style recommendations, supported by official store links and suitable retailer purchase options where available. We’re open to working with studios, publishers, press teams, retailers and platform holders on opportunities that respect our readers and editorial independence.
There are several ways to work with us, but they’re deliberately separate. Being featured editorially is not something a company can buy, while advertising and sponsorship are clearly identified as commercial activity.
Get on our radar.
Submit official game information, approved media, release details and an accessible demo. Our editorial desk considers submissions for First Signal, hands-on features and interviews, then can assess a released game for The Switchboard. Eligible entries may link to Steam or suitable authorised retailers, subject to platform and edition matching. Submissions do not guarantee coverage, placement, retailer availability or sales.
Submit an indie game ↗Discover together.
We’re open to press briefings, game discovery projects, editorial resources, developer interviews, platform-focused features and mutually agreed promotional activity. We welcome discussions on official asset usage, but claim no affiliation or endorsement without an agreement.

For appropriately labelled advertising, launch showcases, affiliate opportunities and sponsorship, speak with Coloured Static Orbit. Paid partnerships are negotiated separately from independent recommendations, scoring and review decisions.
Explore commercial opportunities ↗Independent by design. Open to collaboration.
- Editorial decisions stay with CSPress. Payment, complimentary access or commercial discussions do not purchase a recommendation, review score or favourable editorial verdict.
- Advertising must look like advertising. Paid placements and applicable affiliate links are clearly labelled where readers see them, not simply described in a footer.
- Brand permissions are respected. We use platform names descriptively. Third-party logos, distinctive marks, promotional badges and other controlled brand assets are used only where the intended usage is authorised or otherwise legally permitted.
- Official media is handled carefully. Studios should provide press assets with any applicable credit, embargo, usage limits and confirmation of their rights to share them. Requests to correct or remove imagery can be sent to our editorial desk.
- Partnerships are not implied. Platform buttons represent where games are available, not approval or sponsorship by any platform company.
Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, Android, iOS and other platform and game names remain the trademarks or property of their respective owners. The Switchboard is independently produced by Coloured Static Press and is not presented as an official programme of those companies. Any future formal relationship will be identified accurately and subject to its agreed terms.
