SDKs overview

  • Article

This topic describes the four different SDKs we have.

These SDKs facilitate the use of PlayFab features and services in your title, on the platform of your choice. Each type of SDK is available in different flavors to support your title development on popular engines and platforms. They are typically wrappers around REST APIs.

Tip

We strongly recommend that you use the latest versions of the SDKs. All SDK versions released in the past 6 months are fully supported unless specified otherwise. For Unreal Engine and Unity plugins, we generally support the latest 2 versions. With each release of the SDKs, we support compatibility with newest partner platform versions. Please reach out to developer support if you have any questions.
