For players to connect and play online, you will need a game server in charge of authority, game logic, and gameplay mechanics. This can be a dedicated server (remote, cloud or bare metal) or a player host (listen server with relay, peer to peer).
Edgegap orchestrate game servers worldwide across 615+ physical locations and 17+ data center providers to ensure deployment to the ideal location. Our patented strategy is the best-in-class turnkey solution to reduce latency and minimize operating (hosting) cost for game studios, thanks to our pay-per-use pricing.
