Allocations

Understand how allocations reserve space on a Relay server for multiplayer sessions.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 14 hours ago
An allocation is a request to the Allocations service from the host player to reserve space on a Relay server for the host plus the number of players the host is expecting to join their game (indicated with the 
max_players
field in the 
/allocate request
). After a player joins the host player’s allocation, they receive a unique allocation ID, and Relay considers the player allocated.
