CPU Core, RAM, and License usage are billed in one-hour increments, based on the number and duration of machines online. For example, one Windows machine with two CPU cores and 8 GiB of RAM, running for two hours in us-east1, incurs the following:
Usage | Cost |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | 2 x 2 x $0.031611 = $0.13 |
| RAM | 8 x 2 x $0.004237 = $0.07 |
| License | 2 x 2 x $0.046000 = $0.18 |
Note
Your scaling settings and server density in your build configurations affect the number of online machines.
Storage usage
Storage usage is based on the amount of storage reserved in a month. For example, 50 GiB of storage reserved in a month in us-east1 incurs the following cost: 50 x $0.195500 = $9.78 Storage costs are then prorated based on a 730 hour month. All storage prices are expressed on a per month basis. For example, 50 GiB of storage reserved for seven days in us-east1 incurs the following cost: $9.78/730 x (24 x 7) = $2.25Note
- Your usage settings affect the server density. In turn, the server density, the number of online machines, and the size of your build affect the total amount of data storage reserved.
- The minimum storage reserved per machine is currently 50 GiB, to allow for the operating system, required free space and the size of an average game build.
