AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS)

The online experience that players will love

One unified online experience on every platform. Start with accounts, saves, multiplayer, stores, and live ops. Expand whenever your game needs more.

No credit card required

Trusted by game teams building at every scale

A managed backend your team can build on.

Identity, multiplayer, commerce, and live ops are hard to build and keep running in-house. AGS provides all this as managed modules: you integrate, we operate.

Start with what you need

Build with confidence and focus on what’s important to your game. Adopt one feature or a connected set of features without having to rebuild things later.

We run the infrastructure

Provisioning, scaling, patching, and uptime are handled by us. No more sleepless nights from pager duty.

Our foundations, your game logic

Override or extend default behavior with your own code through Extend, without forking the platform or managing the infrastructure it runs on.

See what's happening under the hood

Events and metrics across every service are built in, so you can inspect your own backend without a separate third-party subscription.

Start with a package, not a feature list.

Each package is a working set of related features. Start with one, add more when you need it.

  • Foundations

    One player identity across every platform you ship on. Accounts, authentication, profiles and player data everything else builds on.

    Explore Foundations
  • Online

    Build a metagame that brings players back. Persistent progression, cloud saves, social systems, and in-game commerce.

    Explore Online
  • Multiplayer

    Find players the right match fast, and keep friends together from lobby to scoreboard. Matchmaking, sessions, servers and chat.

Two capabilities for the parts you build

  • Multiplayer Servers

    Provision, deploy, and scale dedicated game servers across cloud VMs and bare metal. Use it with AGS or alongside your existing backend when you only need server orchestration.

  • Extend

    Run your own backend logic, event-driven workflows, and service overrides inside the managed platform. Your code, our operations.

Pick the first thing to prove.

You don't need to adopt everything on day one. Start with one feature your game needs, then add more as the design, platforms, and scale demand.

  • Connect your first player

    Create a free project, add the SDK for your engine, and get a real test player signed in with persistent player data.

  • See what it costs

    Free while you're building, then usage-based pricing as players arrive. Model your expected use before you talk to anyone.

Managed doesn't mean expensive.

See the pricing model before you talk to anyone. Start free during development, then pay based on usage as your game goes live and grows.

  • Managed path

    Public Cloud: free during development

    Free while you build. When you launch, you pay based on active players, with an everyday free tier that stays free.

From small teams to global launches, games ship on AGS.

No matter the size of your team or the scale of your game, AGS can help. See shipped games that were built on AGS.

Make the next decision easier.

No. Start with the package or services your game needs now, then add more as your game grows without rebuilding the foundation.

Use Extend to add custom services, override supported AGS behavior, or react to game events in your own code while AccelByte runs the infrastructure.

Start with Public Cloud for a fully managed setup with no tier or monthly platform fee. Choose Private Cloud when you need dedicated infrastructure, greater isolation, or more operational control.
