Amazon Launches GameLift Streams to Simplify Game Streaming for Developers
The new AWS service allows developers to stream games directly to any WebRTC-enabled browser without major code modifications.
- Amazon GameLift Streams enables game developers to stream their titles to devices like PCs, smart TVs, and phones using WebRTC-enabled browsers.
- The service eliminates the need for developers to build their own streaming infrastructure, reducing costs and complexity.
- Jackbox Games is among the first to adopt the service, using it to launch an ad-supported streaming platform for its party games.
- GameLift Streams supports high-quality streaming at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second, with flexible scaling to match player demand.
- The service opens opportunities for developers to create new distribution channels, deliver instant playable demos, and expand audience reach globally.
