Fun fact…
Back in the day, publishers used to send in artificially resolution boosted screenshots so they looked better in print.
Many of us in print media called them bullshots, and it was particularly common in the Xbox and PS2 days!

Tip #12
Again. Resolution matters more than you think. An A4 page printed at 300 DPI is roughly 2480 × 3508 pixels.
Anything smaller may look soft or blurry in print.
Editors can always scale images down, but they can’t invent lost detail when scaling up.

Pitching your game to print media? Here’s a thread full of tips!
Always send screenshots in PNG format. JPEG compression blurs sharp edges and creates ugly artefacts that look even worse once printed at 300 DPI.
Where possible, submit your screenshots at 4K resolution. Or native res for pixel art.
