Irrespective of the device, inspiring and engaging those gamers is the key to success in the gaming community. Microsoft Game Stack has been released to help you to cope-up with these issues.
Understanding Microsoft Game Stack
As mentioned earlier, Game Stack offers a single package comprising of various services, tools and game-development platforms.
It aids the game developers to learn about the services and tools that they need to develop and operate it.
Azure plays a vital role in the Game Stack and offers a sustainable and secure infrastructure around the globe in 54 regions.
Moreover, it also offers ML and Ai based cloud-native services along with the compute and storage building blocks. The gamers around the world can enjoy the perfect gaming experience, irrespective of their location and device.
Most of the companies are leveraging Azure to store player data in a safe manner, host multiplayer game servers, avoid DDOS attacks on games, create immersive gameplay by training AI.
If you remember Microsoft acquired PlayFab last year, the tech giant now plans to add PlayFab to the Azure family.
PlayFab actually provides real-time analytics, game-development services, and LiveOps capabilities based on Azure.
Game Stack offers all of Microsoft’s game development technologies under one roof. As a matter of fact, PlayFab+Azure will handle all the complex back-end functionality.
We hope that the collaborative environment can be a game changer in the near future.
