Partnering up with AccelByte

Composed of seasoned industry professionals from Riot Games and Blizzard, Theorycraft has leveraged AccelByte’s robust platform to deliver an exceptional online experience that supports SUPERVIVE’s community-driven gameplay.

In mid-2021, Theorycraft partnered with AccelByte and since then, the AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) platform has been instrumental in powering the full spectrum of SUPERVIVE’s online functionality—from account management to social engagement, commerce, and more.

"Behind every successful online game is a stable online infrastructure," says Michael Evans, CTO of Theorycraft Games. "AccelByte's platform has allowed us to focus all of our development efforts on making a great game, knowing our backend is secure, scalable, and ready to support millions of players."

With AGS Identity and Account Management, SUPERVIVE players can manage accounts and link multiple platforms, including Steam and Twitch, to enhance engagement with features like Twitch Drops. This functionality deepens the player experience and increases visibility across platforms, fostering more connection between players.

AGS’s Lobby and Friends capabilities ensure that SUPERVIVE‘s players can easily find friends, form parties, and engage in cross-platform gameplay. With a strong foundation for social features, SUPERVIVE has introduced engaging elements like Refer-a-Friend, which rewards players for bringing friends into the game—one of the most popular social features among early adopters.

AccelByte also powers player progression, supporting SUPERVIVE commitment to meaningful achievements and goals for its player base. Additionally, AccelByte’s commerce tools allow Theorycraft to create an in-game store, player wallets, and manage entitlements, enabling seamless code redemptions and purchases. A recent integration with Neon Pay has also introduced direct purchase options via the Theorycraft Games Launcher.

Theorycraft’s web portal and the Theorycraft Games Launcher have been developed using AccelByte’s SDK, ensuring high performance and quality across platforms, while providing players with a polished, reliable experience.
