Hosting Games with Microsoft

Hosting​

  • Microsoft will store client-side game files and assets on Azure storage and serve it over a CDN

  • We believe our solution is preferable if you want help with traffic costs on the CDN side, for game page views

  • It is important to note that the hosting is only for client-side code and not for server-side or microservices

  • To avail this service, you would need to submit a ZIP of the minified game files and assets on our Onboarding Portal

  • This hosting will support the traffic of the game on Microsoft Start, but not on other platforms that your game is available

  • Note: For new games that are not on the MS Store already, please use the game URL to generate a PWA and submit that in the MS Store, before onboarding the game

Version Management​

  • We currently support versioning for the hosted games, and the ability to switch to different versions or delete them. You will see past versions in the Onboarding Portal
  • Entering appropriate game details will list the current versions that are hosted by Microsoft
  • You will be able to delete older versions or set another version as the current one in the Version Management page
