Implement multiplayer functionality in your games using sessions, a unified system that manages player connections and interactions across multiple Unity Gaming Services. Sessions provide an abstraction layer for managing multiplayer game states, including initial player connections and gameplay interactions, and automatically handle complex multiplayer operations such as host election, players joining or leaving, and network connection establishment. A session represents a group of connected players and manages their interactions through various connection types, including client-hosted solutions like Relay and Distributed Authority, or dedicated game servers. Sessions work with either the Netcode for GameObjects or the Netcode for Entities networking libraries.

Starting with Multiplayer Services SDK version 1.2, the default network handler implementation for Netcode for Entities automatically creates client and server worlds if none are available when starting a network connection through sessions.Older versions of the MPS SDK require you to create your Netcode for Entities client and server worlds before you can create or join a Multiplayer Services session. When you first add the Netcode for Entities package to your project, the default bootstrap automatically creates the client and server worlds at startup.For more advanced use cases, use a custom network handler to override the default integration with Netcode for Entities.
