Use Leaderboards to amp up competition
Let the games begin
Add a new social and competitive layer to your game experience with Leaderboards.
- Sort scores from lowest to highest or vice versa as well as taking into account the best score, the latest score, or the total score
- Segment players into buckets, create tiers based on ranking, and more to give players a better sense of progression
- Reset leaderboards to keep the game fresh and increase engagement
Scale to support any size of player base
Growing your player base is essential. That’s why Leaderboards is highly scalable – supporting millions of daily active users (DAU) – so no matter the number of players, your game can keep up.
Enhance leaderboards with UGS
Pair Leaderboards with services like Cloud Code and Economy for extra functionality such as rewarding players with in-game currency based on their ranking in a tournament.
Technical features of Leaderboards
Lightweight storage and costs
Efficiently manage your game’s leaderboards and lower costs with advanced reset options, manual or automated archiving, and versioning of leaderboards, which are automatically moved into less costly storage.
Simple engine-agnostic integration
The Unity SDK package allows for simple and fast integration with your game code and other Unity services. Leverage the CLI and REST APIs to get Leaderboards up and running with other engines of your choice.
Player tiering
Create tiers that players access only by attaining a specific score, rank, or percent of best score to easily create leagues and ranks in a few clicks.
