# Introduction

> The easiest way to host and scale dedicated servers for your multiplayer game. Any engine, any networking library.

# Multiplayer Servers, Made Simple.

**You build the game. PlayFlow runs the servers.**

Stop wrestling with complex infrastructure. PlayFlow is a platform that automatically hosts and scales your game's dedicated servers, letting you turn any game into a global multiplayer hit.

> [card] Any Game Engine
>
> A first-class Unity SDK, plus any engine — Godot, Unreal, or your own — via the REST API.

> [card] Any Networking
>
> Use FishNet, Mirror, Netcode, or any transport with a dedicated Linux server build.

> [card] Global & Scalable
>
> Deploy across 13 regions on 6 continents and scale from 10 to 100,000+ players.

## What PlayFlow Does For You

PlayFlow provides the essential backend services that every multiplayer game needs, right out of the box.

> [card] On-Demand Server Deployment
>
> Upload your game build, and we handle the rest. Launch servers on demand, close to your players.

> [card] Launch Per Match
>
> Spin up servers exactly when you need them — one per match via matchmaking, or programmatically via the API — with no idle capacity to manage.

> [card] Lobbies & Matchmaking
>
> Use our pre-built, customizable system to let players group up and find fair, low-latency matches.

> [card] Persistent Worlds
>
> Run your servers 24/7 for MMOs, survival games, or any always-online experience.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Bring Your Own Netcode.** PlayFlow is not a networking library. It's a hosting platform that works with the tools you already know and love. You have full control over your game's code.
