Question about GetCurrentGames()

Hello!
I'm developing a multiplayer game using Unity, Mirror, and the PlayFabAPI, and I want to implement a list of available servers (Playfab servers) from which I can select one and connect to it.
The problem I am facing is that GetCurrentGames() always returns an empty list of games.

I feel like I'm missing something server-side, as my client is able to login and perform the API request perfectly.
Do I need to do something to "subscribe" newly created servers to the list of available games?

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind, I just discovered that GetCurrentGames() is part of the legacy API, therefore it needs the server to work in a different way.

This makes me rise a new question: is it possible to obtain the same behaviour given by GetCurrentGames() also with the Multiplayer 2.0 API?

I believe the MPS (Multiplayer Servers) equivalent of the GetCurrentGame API you’re looking for is:

Multiplayer Server - List Multiplayer Servers (PlayFab Multiplayer) | Microsoft Docs - Lists multiplayer server sessions for a build.

Multiplayer Server - Get Multiplayer Server Details (PlayFab Multiplayer) | Microsoft Docs - Gets the details for a specific multiplayer server session

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you for your answer Citrus Yan.
Eventually, since those two methods are only available on the server, I wrote a Cloud Script function to to retrieve the available sessions (together with their IPs, ports and IDs) exploiting those two functions.
