Why Amazon GameLift Servers?
Game servers toughened to handle multiplayer games at massive scale while lowering your cost per player.
Deploy game servers globally
Latency and reach are critical for the best player experience. Deploy game servers around the world on reliable AWS infrastructure in 26 Regions and 9 Local Zones across 5 continents.
Be closer to where your players are and bring them low latency gaming experiences with 99.99% availability.
Autoscale for unpredictable spikes
Game launches, events, and going viral can generate sudden demand spikes. With responsive autoscaling, be confident that your players can enjoy your game as intended, even during the most unpredictable circumstances. Don't sweat launch days.
Mix and match compute
Leverage hybrid compute across multiple providers including AWS, other cloud providers, and on-premises. Bring your own game server capacity and burst to the AWS cloud on demand. Amazon GameLift Servers manages sessions, server selection, and scaling, all from a single management layer.
Improve price-performance
Lower infrastructure costs per player to as little as $1/month by using Amazon EC2 Spot instances, AWS Graviton instances with up to 20% better price-performance, and Amazon GameLift Servers' intelligent autoscaling algorithm that rapidly reacts to fluctuating player demand and scales down game servers after peak hours.
