AccelByte and KRAFTON Team Up to Power the Next Generation of Games

Great games don’t just happen—they’re built on solid tech that lets developers focus on what really matters: creating unforgettable experiences that connect players worldwide. That’s why KRAFTON is teaming up with AccelByte to bring AccelByte Gaming Services to KRAFTON’s worldwide studios.

This partnership means KRAFTON can spend less time managing backend infrastructure and more time creating original content that pushes the boundaries of interactive entertainment. With AccelByte’s comprehensive backend services handling the heavy lifting, KRAFTON can:

Ship games faster – The AccelByte Developer Toolkit enables teams to distribute builds, run playtests, and monitor game health—all from one centralized hub.
Save costs – With AccelByte Gaming Services, KRAFTON gains access to a comprehensive suite of backend solutions, eliminating the need to reinvent the wheel for every title.
Scale globally with AccelByte Multiplayer Servers to deliver the best multiplayer connected experience.

Expanding Our Impact: Supporting the Next Generation of Game Developers in India

This partnership goes beyond KRAFTON’s internal studios. AccelByte is also joining forces with KRAFTON India as a technology partner for the KRAFTON India Gaming Incubator (KIGI).

Empowering Indian Game Developers – KIGI’s second cohort of startups, from emerging development hubs like Kolkata and Madurai, will gain access to AccelByte’s enterprise-grade backend tools—giving them the same tech that powers some of the world’s biggest games.

Leveling the Playing Field – Many indie teams struggle with server scaling, live service operations, and player data management. By providing access to AccelByte’s backend infrastructure, these developers can focus on creating great games instead of managing backend complexities.

"At KRAFTON, our goal is to create groundbreaking, immersive games. By partnering with AccelByte, we can focus on building the best experiences possible while knowing our backend is in expert hands." – Anuj Sahani, Head of Krafton India Incubation Program and Associate Director Publishing.

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. With AccelByte’s tech powering KRAFTON’s backend, expect even more ambitious, seamless, and immersive gaming experiences as KRAFTON continues to expand its original IPs and virtual worlds.

For AAA studios – This partnership will enable KRAFTON to ship the next generation of global hits faster and more efficiently.
