How to Actually Win in Duos

Profile tips, match strategies, and a few things we wish we could tell everyone.

Lead with your games.

Your top 4 games are the most important real estate on your profile. Choose games that actually represent you — not what you think sounds impressive.

Write a bio like you're talking to someone at a gaming event

Relaxed. Specific. A little weird is fine. "I speedrun Hollow Knight and I will absolutely talk about it for an hour" is more magnetic than "I love to laugh and have fun."

Use your icebreaker question

It's the easiest conversation starter in the app. Ask something you actually want to know the answer to.

Show your face, show your setup, show something

Four photos is plenty of room to give people a real sense of who you are. The selfie in the dark does not communicate "I'm emotionally available."

Don't ghost — just say GG

If it's not a match, a simple "hey, I don't think we're a fit, but good luck out there" is more respectful than disappearing. We're a community. Play like it.

Post (seriously)

The community feed rewards people who show up. Share a clip, ask a question, post your hot take about the best starting area in an RPG. People respond.
