FAQ - Metaplay plan updates

Metaplay's cloud development environments are designed to make it easier and cheaper to spin up environments for different use cases, from small-scale online testing to larger replications of your production environments.

Mini dev environments run on one virtual machine, and include 2GB of memory and 1GB of database storage. They're designed for super-small scale online prototyping.

Small dev environments run on one virtual machine, and include 2GB of memory and 2GB of database storage. They have enough resources to run a decent amount of concurrent bots and internal testers, even in complex projects.

Large environments are for production use cases, and are determined based on the needs of your project with scalable amounts of virtual machines, compute, and memory, as well as extended backups and recovery.

The new Starter plan includes one Mini development environment, and is designed to make it easier and more affordable for small teams and solo devs to deploy their game for earliest online prototyping.

The Starter plan is priced at €195/month, and capped at five daily active users.  

The Starter plan is designed for earliest online prototyping and cloud deployments, and, accordingly, is capped at five daily active users. It contains one mini cloud environment. 

The Pre-launch plan is built for games further along in development, and is capped at 100 daily active users. It contains two small development environments. 

The Production plan is made for games in production, either in soft launch or global launch, and has no DAU cap. The Production plan includes the same two small development environments that come with the Pre-launch plan, on top of fully-scalable staging and production environments. 

Yes, you can add more small development environments on top of your existing Pre-launch or Production plan if you like. Just let us know at info@metaplay.io and we'll get that sorted for you. Soon, you'll be able to provision your own additional development environments directly via the Metaplay development portal. 

It is not possible to add on mini environments to a Pre-launch or Production plan, nor is it possible to add additional environments onto a Starter plan. 

Add-on cloud development environments are priced as follows: 

Small development = €250

Large production = €500

Following your feedback, hands-on engineering support from our development team has been separated from critical incident response.

This makes it easier and cheaper for you to get more expert support for games in development without having to unnecessarily pay for incident response for games that aren't yet in production. 

When your game's ready to go global, you can easily add on a Critical Incident Response plan. This gives you urgent response for live games with a one-hour SLA.
