Game controller icon representing gaming or interactive entertainment services. AWS GameKit feature: Game state cloud saving

The AWS GameKit game state cloud saving feature enables players to save their game state, store it in the cloud, and keep it synchronized with their local game clients. Game saving is a highly valued game feature for players, particularly with games with very long storylines. Cloud saving and synchronization offers additional benefits to players, including:

  • For games that support more than one game platform, players can get true crossplay portability on multiple devices.

  • Players can recover game progress with minimal loss in the event of local device failures.

  • Players still have access to past played game saves, even for games that have been uninstalled.

Use this game feature to implement an autosave system as well for explicit saves that allow players to choose their save points.
