You can use Multiplay Hosting with the Unity Engine, the Unreal Engine, or an entirely custom engine. Additionally, as part of the Unity ecosystem, Multiplay Hosting integrates well with other Unity products, including:
Lobby
The Lobby service allows you to connect players before or during a game session with public or private lobbies. You can use the Lobby service to group players together in a lobby before starting a game session. Refer to the Lobby documentation.Warning
A lobby created using Multiplay Hosting is automatically deleted when the server leaves the lobby, or stops.
Matchmaker
Unity Matchmaker is Unity’s highly customizable matchmaker. You can use Matchmaker with Multiplay Hosting to group players into game sessions based on rules, configurable filters, custom queues, and backfilling. Refer to the Matchmaker documentation.Tip
Refer to the Dedicated game server sample, which uses Netcode for GameObjects and Matchmaker to demonstrate the structure of a project with the dedicated server, and the tools that you can use to configure it.
