Amazon GameLift Servers now supports automatic scaling to and from zero instances Amazon GameLift Servers now enables automatic scaling to and from zero instances, addressing a critical cost optimization challenge for game developers. Previously, developers had to maintain running instances even during periods of low or no activity in order for Fleet autoscaling to remain active. This resulted in unnecessary infrastructure costs during off-peak hours. With automatic scaling to and from zero instances, game developers using Amazon GameLift Servers can optimize their multiplayer gaming infrastructure costs while maintaining responsive performance. By eliminating charges for unused instances during inactive periods, while automatically scaling up when game sessions are requested, this new capability delivers significant cost savings for game developers. This is particularly valuable for games with distinct peak and off-peak periods, seasonal or event-based games, new game launches with uncertain traffic patterns, and regional games with time-zone specific activity. Additionally, scaling decisions no longer need manual intervention, as Amazon GameLift Servers intelligently adapts to natural gaming activity patterns. The automatic scaling to zero instances capability is available in all Amazon GameLift Servers supported regions. To learn more about Amazon GameLift Servers automatic scaling capabilities and implementation details, visit the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gameliftservers/latest/developerguide/release-notes.html.

Amazon GameLift Servers adds ability to view and connect to instances in the console Today, Amazon GameLift Servers launched new console capabilities that let you view and connect to individual fleet instances. The EC2 and Container Fleet Detail pages have a new Instances tab to see a list of instances associated with a fleet. For each instance, there is an instance details page that displays metadata in a human-readable format (data also available via Amazon GameLift Server APIs). From the list and detail views, you can invoke the connect button, open a modal, and launch AWS CloudShell to start an SSM session directly into that instance. These console improvements give hands-on tools to debug, inspect, and resolve issues faster. Instead of relying on external tooling or guesswork, directly investigate host performance, pull recent game server logs, or diagnose issues such as network configuration and instance health - all from within the Amazon GameLift Servers Console. This reduces turnaround time when troubleshooting and enhances visibility into what’s happening “under the hood” of a game server fleet. SSM in Console is available in Amazon GameLift Servers supported regions, except AWS China. For more information, visit the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gameliftservers/latest/developerguide/fleets-remote-access.html#fleets-remote-access-console.

Amazon GameLift Streams adds IPv6 support for streaming Windows applications Amazon GameLift Streams now supports streaming over IPv6 for applications running on Windows-based stream groups, enabling dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) streaming capabilities. This enhancement gives our customers flexibility in how they connect to their streamed Windows applications while maintaining compatibility with existing IPv4 implementations. When streaming applications running on Windows-based stream groups through Amazon GameLift Streams, customers can now use either IPv4 or IPv6 protocols. This dual-stack support helps customers meet IPv6 compliance requirements and provides additional addressing options for the streaming clients. Please note that Linux runtime applications will continue to require IPv4 connectivity for streaming. Amazon GameLift Streams IPv6 support for applications running on Windows-based stream groups is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon GameLift Streams is offered. To learn more about networking options for your streaming applications, visit the Amazon GameLift Streams https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gameliftstreams/latest/developerguide/sdk-browsers-input.html#sdk-browsers-input-ipv6-support.

Amazon GameLift Servers launches a new Local Zone in Dallas, Texas Amazon GameLift Servers now supports a new AWS Local Zone in Dallas, Texas (us-east-1-dfw-2). You can use this Local Zone to deploy GameLift Fleets with EC2 C6gn, C6i, C6in, M6g, M6i, M6in, M8g, and R6i instances. Local Zones place AWS services closer to major player population and IT centers where no AWS region exists. From the Amazon GameLift Servers Console, you can enable the Dallas Local Zone and add it to your fleets, just as you would with any other Region or Local Zone. With this launch, game studios can run latency-sensitive workloads such as real-time multiplayer gaming, responsive AR/VR experiences, and competitive tournaments closer to players in the Dallas metro area. Local Zones help deliver single-digit millisecond latency, giving players a smoother, more responsive experience by reducing network distance between your servers and players. For more information on AWS Local Zones, please see https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/.

Amazon GameLift Streams now offers enhanced flexibility with default applications Starting today, Amazon GameLift Streams offers enhanced flexibility for managing default applications in stream groups. You can now create new stream groups without specifying a default application and modify or remove the default application in the existing stream group. The key improvements include: Ability to create a stream group without a default application Ability to select and modify the default application in an existing stream group Ability to unlink a default application without having to delete the entire stream group Automatic selection of a new default application when no default exists, before streaming an application, ensuring the stream group always has a default when available Each stream group can have one application set as default, which is pre-cached to help reduce the stream startup time. You can now switch the default status between any linked applications to optimize the performance without recreating stream groups. To take advantage of these improvements, you can use the updated Amazon GameLift Streams APIs or the service console to manage your default application configurations. The UpdateStreamGroup API includes a new optional field for the default application identifier. The AssociateApplications and DisassociateApplications APIs have also been updated to handle default application changes. For more information about default applications, see Multi-application stream groups in the Developer Guide. These enhancements provide a better experience as you build and scale your cloud gaming infrastructure.

🆕 Amazon GameLift Streams now allows creating stream groups without default apps, modify or remove defaults, and unlink apps without deleting groups. Each group can have one pre-cached default app for faster startup. Use updated APIs or the console to manage default apps for …
