Amazon GameLift Servers now supports a new AWS Local Zone in Dallas, Texas (us-east-1-dfw-2). You can use this Local Zone to deploy GameLift Fleets with EC2 C6gn, C6i, C6in, M6g, M6i, M6in, M8g, and R6i instances. Local Zones place AWS services closer to major player population and IT centers where no AWS region exists. From the Amazon GameLift Servers Console, you can enable the Dallas Local Zone and add it to your fleets, just as you would with any other Region or Local Zone.
With this launch, game studios can run latency-sensitive workloads such as real-time multiplayer gaming, responsive AR/VR experiences, and competitive tournaments closer to players in the Dallas metro area. Local Zones help deliver single-digit millisecond latency, giving players a smoother, more responsive experience by reducing network distance between your servers and players.
For more information on AWS Local Zones, please see here. To see a complete list of supported regions and local zones for Amazon GameLift Servers, visit the Amazon GameLift Servers documentation. For pricing, please visit the Amazon GameLift Servers Instance Pricing page.
