Building and Shipping Games Is Still So Hard
Even the best game ideas get delayed, not because of the gameplay, but because of everything that needs to be built behind it. Studios spend roughly 6-18 months and a significant percentage of their budget before they get to launch stitching together backend systems, orchestration, tooling, and QA workflows. And none of this is the game. It’s just the stuff you have to build before your players ever hit “Start.”
Backend Complexity
Building and maintaining core backend systems for identity, matchmaking and store eats up dev time, budget, and takes engineering focus away from gameplay.
Server Management Overhead
Scaling servers, managing fleets, and keeping uptime high demands infrastructure and DevOps most teams can’t afford to build or maintain.
Slow, Manual QA Workflows
Distributing builds and tracking crashes often relies on messy workarounds like FTPs, cloud drives, or sheets making every test cycle slower and more fragile.
Limited Visibility Into Live Issues
Without visibility into logs, metrics, or player sessions, even simple bugs can take hours to trace and fix costing studios time and player trust.

Extend
Backend Customization
AccelByte Extend is a customization framework that lets you write custom logic, override existing functionality, and deploy new APIs when our backend services don’t natively support your game’s needs without forking source code or maintaining patched versions. Your logic runs securely in an environment fully managed and hosted by AccelByte.
Override
Override existing AGS behaviors via gRPC endpoints—like matchmaking, chat filtering, or loot box handling—with your own custom logic.
Event Handler
Listen for AGS events—like player logins or matchmaking requests—and run custom logic when the events you care about are triggered.
Service Extension
Add new capabilities beyond existing AGS endpoints—like syncing Cloud Save records, enabling UGC marketplaces, or tracking player challenges.
Observability
Monitor the health and performance of your Extend apps with built-in tools for tracking logs, metrics, and debugging issues.
