Player Accounts is the foundation of your live game
Successful live games engage players with features like friends lists, leaderboards, achievements, and more. Players need a persistent game identity to get the most value from these features. Player Accounts offers a player sign-in and identity solution that enables this personalized experience.


Seamless integration with other Unity products
Being part of Unity’s Authentication service means that using Player Accounts for your player-identity solution makes it easier to build your game features with the Unity Gaming Services portfolio. Leverage these integrations to save feature-development time.
Persistent experience across platforms and devices
If your audience plays your game across multiple devices, they will expect a smooth transition between platforms. Player Accounts ensures this on any device, from mobile to desktop, reducing friction and increasing player engagement.
