What Beamable is

Beamable is a game server platform for creating and operating online games and virtual worlds. Its engine-native SDKs support Unity and Unreal, and its serverless backend provides cloud code, data persistence, custom gameplay logic, and Mongo-based persistence. The SDK includes player accounts, multiplayer networking, matchmaking, and features such as inventory, currencies, leaderboards, groups, achievements, chat, tournaments, and multiplayer events. The LiveOps Portal supports events, promotions, content updates, A/B tests, player support, CRM, and messaging. Beamable also describes built-in analytics and event forwarding integrations with GameAnalytics, Mixpanel, and Amplitude. Studios can use managed SaaS or private cloud; the latter offers dedicated single-tenant infrastructure. A 90-day free trial includes 12.5M API calls, 1,000 MAU, and three microservices. Paid plans start at $125 a month. Pricing also specifies 10KB bandwidth per API call, with overage billing for additional bandwidth.
