Player sign-in and authentication
The foundation of live games
The most successful live games engage players with features for community building, as well as progression and purchase tracking. Provide a persistent player identity to help your players make the most of these features and develop a deeper connection with your game.
Cross-platform support
Launching on multiple platforms can encourage players to play your game more often. Deliver a smooth and persistent player experience across devices so they can pick up where they left off.
Flexible implementation
Unity Authentication and Unity Player Accounts offer you the flexibility to oversee your players’ identities by providing mix-and-match features suited to your game and target platforms.
Use cases
