# Publish Game

{% hint style="warning" %}
Simplified publishing only works when signed in with Google. If you don't sign in with Google you can [publish using an API key](https://app.gitbook.com/o/Ob5dDteJHkKChzdNkVaS/s/IbaXflSJA8L9N9yOx089/~/changes/322/other/publishing-with-key).
{% endhint %}

### Create game

First you will need to register your game:

1. Go to [create.airship.gg](https://create.airship.gg/) and sign up with Google.
2. Click "Create" to make an organization. You can make more organizations in the future.
3. Once you have made your organization click "Create Game" and give it a name

### Publish game

Once you have created a game you can publish to it from the Unity Editor:

Your first publish might take a few minutes. Future publishes will be faster.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**If you see errors saying you are missing modules, you need to install Unity build modules**

1. Open Unity Hub and select the Installations tab
2. Press Manage on the installation you have been using for Airship
3. Click on Add Modules for
   * Android Build Support
   * iOS Build Support
   * Linux Build Support (IL2CPP)
   * Windows Build Support (IL2CPP)
   * Mac Build Support (Mono)
4. Install the module, restart Unity Editor, and Publish your game!
   {% endhint %}

### Play your game

Once your game is live you will see a message in your console with a link to play your game on Steam. By default your game is [unlisted](/publishing/create-dashboard-game-cms/game-visibility.md), meaning you can send this link to friends and play together. Congrats!
