SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As highlighted in the 2024 Unity Gaming Report , even as the gaming industry faced economic challenges, multiplayer games are still proving tremendously successful. 68% of studios using Unity are developing multiplayer games in an effort to reach greater player engagement through competition and community building. As multiplayer game development and operating a live game service remain a complex undertaking for studios of all sizes, Unity (NYSE: U), the world’s leading platform of tools for creators to build and grow real-time games, apps, and experiences across multiple platforms, remains committed to supporting developers by streamlining the entire development process via a suite of flexible and extensible tools that they can use regardless of the game engine they choose or the platform they are targeting:
"We chose multiplayer UGS because we wanted to have a third party take care of all complex logic for us so we could focus on the core gameplay of Histera. We use quite a few services from UGS, and it's very useful to get them with one single provider. There's less glue between various services for us to worry about,” said Jamel Ziaty, Producer, StickyLock.
“Unity's Multiplayer Services has reduced development time on player features from a few weeks to a few days. Had we built everything ourselves, it would’ve required more resources and significantly more funds,” said Pieter Vantorre, CTO, Triangle Factory.
“The rise in multiplayer games the industry overall is witnessing has driven change and choice not only in the tools leveraged in development but in the hosting infrastructure landscape. Game studios now have the choice, bare metal versus cloud hosting and a multitude of providers,” said Benjy Boxer, SVP & GM, Unity Cloud. “Unity Multiplay Hosting hosts over 77 million game sessions in a month and continues to demonstrate its ability to scale supporting more than 3 million concurrent users at any given moment. This service is a critical business area for Unity that will see continued investment and new features as part of the Unity 6 launch later this year.”
Additional multiplayer features and support developers can expect to see in Unity 6 are:
