Amazon GameLift Streams
Amazon Web Services, an Amazon Inc. company, on Thursday announced Amazon GameLift Streams, a fully managed capability that enables developers to deliver high-fidelity, low-latency game experiences to players using virtually any device with a browser. Game developers no longer need to spend time and resources changing their games for streaming or building their own streaming infrastructure.
Amazon GameLift Streams is a new capability of Amazon GameLift, the AWS service that empowers developers to build and deliver the world’s most demanding games, the report stated.
Chris Lee, general manager and head of Immersive Technology at AWS, commented, “With more than 750 million people playing games running on AWS every month, we have a long history of supporting the industry’s game development, content creation, player acquisition, personalization, and more. Amazon GameLift Streams can help the game industry transform billions of everyday devices around the world into gaming machines without rebuilding game code or managing your own infrastructure. For game developers, this creates exciting new revenue and monetization opportunities that weren’t possible before.”
What can developers do with Amazon GameLift Streams?
AWS said that Amazon GameLift Streams makes it easy for developers to launch game streaming capabilities and meet player expectations without having to invest millions of dollars in infrastructure and software development.
Developers can then use the SDK to integrate with their existing identity services, storefronts, game loaders, and websites, or newly created experiences such as playable demos, and begin streaming to players, the company added.
Other Partnership
According to the report, Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, is partnering with AWS and using Amazon GameLift Streams for Xsolla Cloud Gaming. Xsolla’s customizable solution enables game developers to deliver high-quality PC and mobile gaming experiences directly to browsers using a pay-as-you-go monetization model.
