What Beamable is
Beamable is a game server platform for studios building and operating online games and virtual worlds. Its engine-native SDKs for Unity and Unreal connect to a serverless backend for cloud code, persistent data, and custom gameplay logic. The SDK includes player accounts, multiplayer networking, matchmaking, and features such as inventory, currencies, leaderboards, chat, tournaments, and achievements. For live operations, its portal supports events, promotions, content updates, A/B tests, player support, CRM, and messaging. Beamable describes built-in analytics and event forwarding to GameAnalytics, Mixpanel, and Amplitude. Studios can choose managed SaaS or private cloud; private cloud provides dedicated single-tenant infrastructure, and both options are powered by AWS. The trial includes 12.5M API calls, 1,000 MAU, and three microservices. Pricing allows 10KB bandwidth per API call, with overage charges for additional bandwidth.
