We believe the games industry is at its best with a thriving ecosystem of independent creators. That's why we're building Foundations — a plug and play backend platform for game developers of all sizes to support features the biggest AAA studios take for granted.
Built by game industry veterans from Epic, Xbox, and EA, our mission at Foundations is to bring the world's most comprehensive suite of battle-tested online services — already supporting millions of players at AccelByte — and making it accessible to all developers no matter their size.
Rather than wasting cycles building and troubleshooting finicky backend services, we help creators focus on what matters most: Making awesome games.
Not if, but when your game blows up, sleep soundly at night knowing Foundations is built on the same infrastructure proven to scale to support millions of players at AccelByte. This keeps open the option to upgrade to the complete AccelByte Cloud offering - and all the associated dedicated LiveOps support - at any time when your title blows up!
Easily integrate individual microservices into your game with our UE4/5 and Unity SDKs. Pick and choose which features you need — and which you don't care about!
Launch your game on any platform painlessly. Foundations seamlessly connects cross-platform accounts, profiles, matchmaking, and payments on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Android, iOS, and Nintendo.
We know costs are scary when you start small.
Afterwards, our pricing is simple and scales by additional players count — and not impossible to predict API consumption.

You can learn further how Foundations integrates in your game with our Lyra UE5 sample game.
Foundations is a streamlined version of the AccelByte Cloud platform that takes all our existing backend features and simplifies them for quick, plug-and-play integration. While AccelByte Cloud is a hosted, single-tenant solution with dedicated LiveOps support designed for AAA creators, Foundations is intended for smaller, independent studios to quickly build, launch, and operate their titles.
One of our core values is to align ourselves with our customers' success. MAU often counts (and charges!) for any sudden influx of one-off players that don't stick around. We instead only want to charge for players that are actively engaging with the game.
Foundations is designed to enable easy migration to full AccelByte Cloud platform. This keeps open the option to upgrade to the complete AccelByte Cloud offering - and all the associated dedicated LiveOps support - at any time when your title blows up!
During the Closed Invite period we are searching for close partners to provide input to the product team. As such, we take feature requests and pesky bugs seriously and you will have direct access to our engineering teams.
The Closed Invite period is intended to last through 2023 as we build and refine the Foundations platform. After the Closed Invite period, nothing will change for existing users as we open the platform to additional creators.
Absolutely yes. You can launch your games anytime you're ready.
