When you request placement in a VK catalog collection or in Odnoklassniki after updating the game, for example for holiday or seasonal events, you need to update the large snippet image. If the game is already in a collection, you can't change the large snippet.
Game screenshots
Images displayed on the game launch screen and in search results in the games catalog on the VK desktop website.
For better visual consistency, use images of the same size and orientation, either landscape or portrait.
Be careful. Changing the orientation will delete the uploaded images. This action can't be undone.

- •Supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF.
Video
A video displayed on the game launch screen and in the banner carousel in the games catalog on the VK desktop website.
If no video is specified, VK will use the large snippet image. If it is also missing, VK will use the universal icon.
Launch screen
