Cloud Game Development

Game development teams need highly scalable and highly available pipelines to meet their growing production demands. With Build and Render Pipeline solutions on AWS, development teams can build, test, and publish game versions that leverage managed elastic resources to scale on-demand as builds are initiated. By implementing these solutions, organizations can reduce time spent on game build processes.

Game code bases are increasingly complex, continuously changing, and combine many distinct competencies, presenting challenges for game developers. Code Assistance for Game Development solutions on AWS help integrate AI in various aspects of game and game engine development workflows, such as semantic inventory/search, debugging and optimization suggestions, documentation, and unit test and test case creation. This accelerates game feature development, keeps long-term code bases clean and efficient, de-risks game releases, and accelerates time-to-market.

Quality assurance and playtesting are critical parts of game development that ensure your game is playable, balanced, and bug-free. Studios face challenges securely distributing pre-release builds and scaling QA testing efforts. Using Game QA and Playtesting solutions on AWS, game studios can securely scale global, cross-platform game testing environments in the cloud, and automate game balancing with AI and reinforcement learning. With these solutions, game studios can improve testing quality and efficiency, develop and publish games faster, reduce development costs, and improve player experience through optimized game level design.

Globally distributed game development teams need effective ways to coordinate, review code, and communicate across time zones and geographies. Team Collaboration solutions on AWS enable near real-time communication, synchronized review processes, and seamless project coordination. These solutions enable studios to maintain creative momentum, streamline feedback cycles, and foster team collaboration while supporting remote and hybrid work environments.

In the game industry, project complexity and game sizes continue to increase leaving development teams in need of version control systems that provide high performance and availability. Using Version Control & Digital Asset Management solutions on AWS enables development teams to deploy hybrid and cloud-native version control systems while also helping to ensure assets remain secure and available.

Today's game studios need flexible, secure, low-latency infrastructure to support remote and distributed development teams. Using Virtual Workstations solutions on AWS, studios can set up workstations that are tailored to the development tools and workflows required to develop a game, while providing a safe and robust experience for content producers and developers, wherever they may be.
