Overview
Push notifications are an experimental engagement feature designed to help bring players back into your game at the right moments.
Push notifications can help drive engagement, increase player retention, and build habit loops for players—all good things for your game. You can trigger opt-in reminders around high-value events such as streaks, rewards availability, milestones, and live activities.
Beta requirements
This is a gated beta, which means that you’ll need to apply to unlock the ability to use push notifications in your app. Current eligibility is aimed at established, already-engaged games rather than brand-new launches, and push notification partners are selected from active games with traction and predictable cadence. Check out our featured games to get an idea of what we’re looking for.
How to apply
If you meet the requirements and want to apply for a spot in our beta program:
- Download the Devvit Push Notifications Beta: Copy Submission Template.
- Make a copy, and fill out the template with your app’s details.

Spaces are limited, and not all apps that meet the criteria will be accepted.
