AWS GameKit supported AWS Regions
This reference page lists the current status of AWS GameKit availability in all AWS Regions. A Region must support all of the AWS services and resources that are required for a AWS GameKit game feature backend.
In the AWS GameKit plugin, you select an environment to work in. The environment includes an AWS Region selection, which determines where all of the game backend services and resources for that environment will be deployed.
If you deploy the backend to an AWS Region that doesn't support AWS GameKit resources, the deployment will fail with
messaging such as CreateStack Failed: Template format error: Unrecognized resource types.
