GameOn Overview
The GameOn Service enables you to easily create in-game events to boost user engagement and retention. Use the GameOn APIs to host leaderboards, multi-round competitions, leagues and prizes.
GameOn is available in any of the countries/regions where AWS is offered. Use GameOn on any operating system, device, surface, or screen size.
The GameOn system is powered by a set of micro services built on the native AWS platform. Developers integrate the REST APIs into their game to take advantage of the GameOn services, while maintaining complete control of the gameplay and UX from the app.
Because all of the functionality is accessible through these APIs and we do not rely on a client component such as an SDK, there are no restrictions on the development platform (Unity, XCode, Android Studio, etc.), operating system (iOS, Android, Fire OS etc.), surfaces and screen sizes (Mobile, Desktop, Console, TV).
You create, manage, and monitor competitions through the self-service GameOn Console, and then call the various GameOn APIs to display available competitions, have players participate in the competitions, submit the scores of their gameplay, and redeem digital prizes.
