Helpshift in-game player support

Players demand solid support directly in your game. That’s why a third of the biggest publishers and studios rely on Helpshift.

Don’t chase your players away

When players need help, the last thing they want to do is leave your game to find it. Keep players in the game with instant answers to solve their problems, so they can get back to playing faster. Helpshift provides quick and easy in-app support for mobile that’s always on.

Chat on your players’ terms

Today’s gamers expect modern, mobile-first messaging – not antiquated email and phone support. Helpshift delivers a modern chat and conversational help experience that feels as natural as chatting with a friend. Players no longer have to wait “on hold” for an answer, so they can focus on the fun.

Automate support to get players back to playing

As your game grows, so does the volume of player issues that arise. But players still want their problems resolved right away. With bots enlisted to collect issue information, complete rote tasks, automate resolution, and speed up time-to-happiness, you can focus on providing a human touch to your VIP players.

“From a player’s perspective, everything is all in one place. You can play your game, read FAQs, or get help from within the app. It’s a connected experience right at your fingertips and allows us to be where our players are.”

“It delivered a fully-native experience with in-app messaging. Players don't want to leave the app to send an email and calling into a call center would be unthinkable. Helpshift delivered a fully integrated experience that delighted our players.”

“Helpshift has been transformative to our player support experience. Over the course of just over a year, we improved our level of automation. Most importantly, however, we have maintained CSAT throughout, while achieving our vision of scaling leaner.”

“Before using Helpshift, support interactions could take days. We wanted to reduce these to under 24 hours and we’ve exceeded that goal. When a player has a question, we automatically see a wealth of information gathered from the device on the Helpshift agent console. It means we have to ask fewer questions and can resolve the player’s issue faster.”
