Open Match is an open-source game matchmaking framework from Google that simplifies building scalable and extensible matchmakers for multiplayer games. It gives developers full control over match logic via code while handling the operational challenges of running a production matchmaking service at scale on Kubernetes.
Use cases
- build a matchmaker for a multiplayer game
- match players by skill and latency at scale
- run matchmaking experiments to tune match quality
- scale matchmaking up and down with player demand
- replace a homegrown matchmaking service with a production-grade one
- connect players from around the world into fair matches
When to choose
- you run a multiplayer game on Kubernetes and need scalable matchmaking
- you want full programmatic control over how matches are made
- you need a battle-tested matchmaker backed by Google's design
When to avoid
- you need a turnkey hosted matchmaking service with no infrastructure to run
- your game is single-player or peer-to-peer without server-side matchmaking
- you are not prepared to operate Kubernetes-based services
