Purpose: add dedicated game server hosting to an Unreal Engine game in minutes using Edgegap's Docker Extension ("build from containers") — without compiling Unreal from source.
How it works: the Unreal Docker Extension packages your dedicated server into a container and deploys to Edgegap's regionless network (615+ Edge Cloud locations across 17+ providers, plus Private Fleets); one click gets the game online; integrates with Edgegap matchmaker, server browser, and fleet orchestration.
Partner status: approved and endorsed by Epic Games' Epic Online Services (EOS) — includes player authentication, sessions/lobbies, and anti-cheat.
Key benefits: 58% average latency reduction vs public cloud; ~3s server cold-start boot; hybrid orchestration — egress-free Private Fleets for cost plus on-demand Edge Cloud for global coverage; pay-per-minute, no fixed fees.
Audience: any Unreal Engine multiplayer game developer or studio, solo indie to AAA.
