AccelByte supports Game Developers with Flexible, Global Multiplayer Server Management Powered by Google Cloud

As multiplayer games continue to grow in scale and complexity, studios face mounting pressure to deliver low-latency gameplay to players around the globe — without over-engineering infrastructure or overspending on resources. The answer? Hybrid server orchestration.

AccelByte Multiplayer Servers (AMS) is a purpose-built hybrid orchestration platform that helps studios deploy autoscaling, dedicated multiplayer servers across cloud and bare metal environments;  all from a single, unified interface. This means faster scaling, smoother operations, and a better experience for both your developers and your players

Now, with Google Cloud as a trusted partner, developers can tap into even more flexibility and global reach when deploying and managing game servers through AMS.

Breaking Down Barriers with Google Cloud

By leveraging Google Cloud’s robust infrastructure within AMS, AccelByte ensures that game developers can design their server architecture with confidence;  free from vendor lock-in and optimized for performance, scalability, and developer productivity. 

For development teams, this unlocks real advantages:

• Faster VM Start-Up Times
  
  Google Cloud VMs help studios to reduce idle buffer servers and get players into matches quickly especially during peak load times.
  
  
• Better Value for Performance
  
  Accelbyte’s cpx1.gcp VM family delivers powerful compute at up to 16% lower cost in key regions like North America, Southeast Asia, South America, and Australia helping studios optimize infrastructure spend without sacrificing performance.

Whether you’re building the next blockbuster multiplayer hit or a niche online experience, AccelByte’s support for Google Cloud VMs offers the flexibility, speed, and efficiency that modern game developers demand all from a single orchestration layer purpose-built for games.

AMS VM Families, Powered by Google Cloud

With Google Cloud integration, AMS now offers a selection of VM families designed to power everything from compute-heavy simulations to memory-intensive game servers:

• Glx1.gcp Family
  • General-purpose VMs powered by third-generation AMD EPYC Milan and second-generation AMD EPYC Rome processors. Ideal for a wide range of workloads, these instances offer up to 48 vCPUs, 192 GiB RAM (4 GiB/vCPU), and storage support for standard SSDs up to 375 GiB.
• Mex1.gcp Family
  • Memory-optimized VMs designed for large, memory-heavy game servers. Powered by third generation AMD EPYC Milan and second generation AMD EPYC Rome processors. This family offers up to 384 GiB RAM (7 GiB/vCPU) and storage support for standard SSDs up to 375 GiB.
• Cpx1.gcp Family
  • High-performance VMs featuring third-generation AMD EPYC Milan. These instances are optimized for game servers with heavy physics simulations, offering up to 56 vCPUs and 2 GiB RAM per vCPU.

• Ttx1.gcp Family
  • Cost-saving VMs perfect for development environments. These instances feature Intel and AMD EPYC processors and are ideal for small-scale workloads with up to 4 GiB RAM and standard SSDs up to 32 GiB. While not recommended for production dedicated servers, they provide an affordable solution for developers during the early stages of development.

These VMs are available across key global regions, including North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia, with more regions to come.
