Manage Content
Make balance changes and create live events or tournaments by updating game content remotely, on your own schedule.
- Store Game Configuration
- Store your game configuration in PlayFab, then remotely tune and adjust your settings (anything from simple key/value pairs to complex JSON files) anytime you want, without a client update.
- Item Configuration
- Configure the full catalog of items available for in-app granting or purchase, and update with new items at any time. Items can have limited uses, expiration times, custom JSON data, tags and more.
- Game Assets
- Host game assets in PlayFab. Upload manually via Game Manager, or automatically via command line tools (or use the admin API directly from your build pipeline).
- Content Delivery Network
- Stream assets down to your game clients via a global CDN. Use our default CDN (with pass-through billing) or configure your own custom CDN for PlayFab to retrieve files.
Take Action
Customize your game experience to meet each player’s needs.
- Player Segmentation
- Divide players into segments in real-time based on properties such as location, spend, device, client version, acquisition channel and play pattern.
- Trigger Actions
- Trigger actions as players enter or exit segments.
- Scheduled Tasks
- Run scheduled tasks that apply to all players in each segment, combining the efficiency of automation with the intimacy of a personalized message or offer.
