AWS has become a major player in the gaming industry due to its vast range of cloud services, from infrastructure to AI. With over 200 services spread across 84 Availability Zones, it allows developers to concentrate on building games without worrying about the underlying technology. Popular games like Fortnite and PUBG are powered by AWS, and partnerships with major studios such as Epic Games and Ubisoft highlight its significant role in the sector. AWS also offers game-specific solutions like GameSparks and GameKit to help manage backend operations. This cloud-driven shift in game development has streamlined processes, boosted scalability, and improved player security. By the way, have you ever played the World Series of Poker?
