Keep up with players across multiple devices
With so many apps working across multiple devices, you never know if a player will be logging in from their mobile, laptop, or tablet to play.
By using Cloud Save with Authentication, you can enable players to sign in with various platform accounts, and make sure their progress is saved across their devices.
Form parties and lobbies in your multiplayer game
When creating a multiplayer game, you need to ensure your players can connect, socialize, and play together safely and enjoyably.
Use Lobby and Matchmaker with Authentication to allow your players to securely authenticate, connect, and communicate with each other with confidence.
Protect your game economy
Create a strong and secure game economy using Economy and IAP with Authentication. Set up authenticated sign-in in your game to associate unique tokens and an ID for each player that can’t be manipulated by anyone else.

Authentication is for UGS game developers who require players to authenticate in their games.
Choose Authentication when:
- You already have a third party or custom identity solution and want to continue to use it with UGS.
- You do not need an identity solution, but want to offer your players the ability to sign in either anonymously or with popular platforms (Google, Google Play Games, Apple, Apple Game Center, etc).
Choose Player Accounts when:
- You want to have an identity solution that is cross-game and cross-publisher.
- You want to offer email and password sign-in and sign-up capabilities.
Authentication is a free product.
Anonymously:
- Lowest friction sign-in method; this does not require the player to enter any credentials.
- The player can continue with their progress on the same device. However, they will not be able to recover their account if the device is lost or if the game is uninstalled.
Recoverable identity providers:
- Requires the players to authenticate through a third-party identity provider or custom identity solution.
- Once the player is authenticated, their account becomes recoverable and they can login to the same account from another device
Unity Authentication currently supports the following identity providers: Apple, Apple Game Center, Google Play, Facebook, Steam, Oculus (Meta Quest), Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox, OpenID Connect, and Unity Player Accounts.
