Easily Migrate from Unity's Multiplay to Edgegap's Game Server Hosting
Announced December 4th, 2025, Unity will cease to support their game server hosting platform, Multiplay on March 31st 2026.
Fortunately, Edgegap's game server hosting is easy to migrate to. Thanks to Edgegap's dedicated plugin for Unity and Unreal, it takes only minutes to migrate.
Edgegap's platform itself also helps you with:
Instant distribution worldwide to 615+ locations worldwide, which helps us reduce latency in your multiplayer by 58% on average.
A single price worldwide, alongside pay-per-use pricing and just-in-time deployments which lowers your hosting costs by 30-50% on average versus Multiplay (and any traditional fleet-based orchestration) with 100% usage compute.
Discover why games like Ghosts of Tabor, the #1 extraction shooter on VR, migrated to Edgegap from Multiplay.
Switch From Multiplay to Edgegap
