Playfab MultiPlayer,

Hello guys,

is it possible to create a real time multiplayer game with playfab + unity? I mean I wanna create a simple 2d multiplayer game and I dont wanna spend much money for big multiplayer sdk's. Can I host the server maybe on my own dedicated server? Or do some better ways to creating a multiplayer game exists?

Thanks!

PlayFab has an integration with Photon that solves this for you.

Here is a guide to setting it up with Unity

With Photon Realtime, you can have "rooms" that you can use to connect players and make sure they can exchange packets, if you're okay with the simulation being controlled on the client side.

Generally speaking, if you want server authoritative logic, you'll want to use custom game servers, either hosted by us (https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/landing-tournaments/custom-game-servers) or externally (https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/external-game-servers).

You can use Cloud Script for occasional, lightweight logic, but it sounds like you need something that would be controlling the simulation securely.
