Economy v1 virtual currency reporting

Hello,

We are using Economy v1. Due to legal requirements in Japan, we have to periodically report VC acquisition, expenditure and balance for all players in the region. Is there a way to query this information?

I have seen that there are playstream events that cover some of this, but those only trigger when a user actually does something, so they would not help if a player has no activity during the reporting period - they still need to be included in the data.

What have previous titles done for this? Is there a way to do this in-PlayFab, or do we need some additional telemetry in the title?

Cheers.

PlayFab doesn’t have a built-in feature to get VC acquisition, expenditure, and balance for all players. But the VC balance changes will generate events such as character_virtual_currency_balance_changed - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn and player_virtual_currency_balance_changed - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn.

You can use Data Explorer - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn to query the VC balance changes events and calculate the VC acquisition, expenditure, and balance base on it. But there are some limits you may have a look. Also, the data retention time is 30 days by default.

Or you can use Insights Export - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn to export those events for analysis.
