More than 90 percent of the world’s largest game companies offload their online gaming infrastructure job to Amazon Web Services cloud computing resources.
From Activision’s Destiny 2 to Supercell’s Clash Royale, they all rely on Amazon's cloud infrastructure to handle the flows of demand on cloud-connected data centers. The statistic is based on market researcher Newzoo's list of the top 25 game companies.
Many companies chose Amazon because they require reliable services. And here according to Amazon, its cloud computing services can offer execution and constant innovation, as well as seamless online experiences.
AWS can be used by developers to innovate developments, and to support scalable multiplayer infrastructure management, live service operations, Twitch integrations, innovations with Alexa voice-enabled gameplay, and massive-scale machine learning.
The company also has GameOn which was introduced outside of AWS. The service enables in-game competitions, and it's Amazon's attempt to compete with Google and Microsoft to gain business from game developers.
