About GameSparks GameSparks is a cloud-based platform for games developers to help them build the server-side features of their games and then manage their games as a service post launch. Games are increasingly becoming dependent on server-side components. Making a game into a cross platform multiplayer game or building it as a free-to-play game with in-app purchases and managing players are examples of the requirements that are increasing the move towards server-side game development. The GameSparks platform provides developers with a single integrated tool to build these server components without ever having to set up and run a server. It’s all done for them freeing them up to focus on their games. Once launched, games need ongoing optimisation and management and GameSparks provides a rich set of tools to enable studios to tune their games and increase player retention and monetisation. End
