Sessions tutorials with Unity Netcode

Use Netcode to build a simple multiplayer game from scratch using sessions.

Multiplayer Services uses the following netcode solutions to manage real-time networking in sessions:

  • Netcode for GameObjects, which is compatible with NetworkBehaviour.
  • Netcode for Entities, which is compatible with Unity's Data-Oriented Technology Stack (DOTS).

You can use only one of these networking libraries per project.

The following tutorials demonstrate how to use Multiplayer Services sessions and Unity Netcode to add simple multiplayer elements to a game. Completing these tutorials is the best way to learn the principles of the Multiplayer Services package.
