Game Development Cloud
Pick a server size
Game Dev uses shared vCPUs for builds and testing. The Game plans run on dedicated vCPUs for consistent server performance.

What you get
Built in, not bolted on.
Dedicated vCPU plans
Game plans give you dedicated cores instead of shared ones, with 2 GB of RAM for every vCPU. A good fit for servers that need steady tick timing.
Full root access
Install any Linux server build, mod or custom game file. Run it as a service and manage it over SSH.
Resize as players arrive
Add CPU and RAM when a launch goes well, or run several servers side by side and spread players across them.
Istanbul or Nuremberg
Place servers close to players in Türkiye, the Middle East and Europe, and run each region on its own machine.
Snapshots and backups
Take a snapshot before a patch or mod update and roll back if something breaks. Scheduled backups are available as an add-on.
Room for your pipeline
Run CI agents, Docker containers and asset build jobs on the same platform as your live servers.
Use cases
What teams run on it.
-
01
Dedicated multiplayer servers
Host authoritative match or world servers for your players, from a small co-op title to a busy shooter.
-
02
Game backend APIs
Run login, matchmaking, leaderboards and inventory services next to a database you manage.
-
03
Build and test pipelines
Compile builds, run automated tests and keep artifacts on a shared-core machine that costs less than a game plan.
-
04
Playtests and staging
Spin up a copy of production for a closed playtest, then delete it when the session ends.

-
02
Pick an OS
Select a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu or Debian. The server is created and you get root access over SSH.
-
03
Deploy your game
Upload your server build, open the ports your game uses and start it as a service.
Questions
Game Development Cloud, answered.
What is a game server?
It is the machine that keeps the authoritative state of a multiplayer match or world. Players connect to it, and it relays their actions to everyone else.
Should I pick shared or dedicated vCPUs?
Shared vCPUs are fine for builds, testing and small backends. For live match servers, dedicated vCPUs keep performance consistent under load.
Can I run mods and custom game files?
Yes. You get root access to a full Linux server, so you can install mods, plugins and custom builds the same way you would on your own hardware.
How do I keep lag low?
Choose the region closest to most of your players, give the server enough CPU and RAM, and profile your server code to find slow ticks.
How do I back up a game server?
Take snapshots before updates and add scheduled backups if you want them automatic. You can also copy world files to external storage from inside the server.
Can I scale up after launch?
Yes. Resize a server to a larger plan, or add more servers and spread players across them.
