In their own words
GS2-Matchmaking
GS2-Matchmaking is a managed service for grouping game players by conditions and finding opponents. In standard matchmaking, a player creates a gathering and others may join when they meet its requirements; it is deleted after reaching its required player count. Conditions can include up to five player attributes, role capacities, ratings, allowlists, and blacklists. Ratings follow a Glicko-2-based process, starting at 1500 and changing with game results. Party tokens allow gatherings with existing party members; player tokens last 3 minutes and party tokens last 10 minutes. Season matchmaking keeps gatherings for a specified period and supports up to 1000 players, but only searches by GS2-Experience rank and does not allow players to leave during the season. The service supports latency or region matching and server allocation. SDKs cover Unity, Unreal Engine 5, Godot 4, Go, PHP, Java, C#, TypeScript, and Python. The Individual plan is free for eligible users, subject to request-rate thresholds and a GS2 logo requirement at launch.
Unity Version Control
Unity Version Control is an engine-agnostic source control tool for game development teams working with large files and binaries. It supports centralized and distributed workflows with branching and merging, as well as file-based workflows for artists. Smart Locks check that a user has the latest version before allowing a file lock, helping reduce merge conflicts. Teams can use Unity-hosted cloud servers or run the server on their own infrastructure. Desktop clients are available for Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel, and Linux. Named integrations and supported tools include JIRA, Rider, TeamCity, Jenkins, Bamboo, Unreal Engine and Discord. The free tier is free and includes unlimited cloud seats, 25 GB storage per organization per month and 100 GB egress per month; usage beyond included limits is pay-as-you-go. Unity lists on-prem seats at $38 a month. Upload and download communications use SSL, and permissions can be set for repositories, branches and individual items.
