Trusted by the very best
Our customers include Bohemia Interactive, Snail, Scavengers Studios, The Farm, Battle State Games, Triternion, Gamepires and more.
“Not only did they provide servers, but also knowledge of scaling multiplayer games. They helped us a lot during the development process. The release of SCUM was a huge success – they tripled the number of servers within hours, helping us reach a total of 70,000 CCU on launch day.”
– Andrej Levenski, Technical Director & Co-Founder, Gamepires. SCUM.
Case study: Heroes & Generals
We worked with RETO MOTO to develop a reliable, cost-effective hosting solution that was tailor-made for Heroes & Generals. It would let them reach players in Russia and around the world, scale their game as far and as fast as necessary, and save up to 50% in costs. To find out more, check out the case study.
From zeuz to Multiplayer Operations
In 2020, Improbable acquired game hosting and operations specialists zeuz, which delivers high-performance, cost-optimised hosting for massive titles like SCUM, Conan Exiles and Mordhau.
Today, we're building on the team’s operations expertise and global hosting network, and combining it with our own skills and experience to offer Multiplayer Operations.
Hybrid game server orchestration
Access all the compute you need through a single provider with container-based orchestration that brings together the cost-efficiency of bare metal with the flexibility of cloud.
Minimise costs with a hybrid cloud
We minimise hosting costs by finding you the right mix of bare metal and cloud servers throughout your game’s lifecycle. By using our orchestration technology to combine them both, you can save more than 50% compared with cloud-only hosting.
Live monitoring and support
With operations specialists on three continents monitoring your game all day, every day, we'll identify and resolve issues before they impact players.
Custom multiplayer solutions
No two games are the same. That's why the hosting solutions and professional services we offer are customised to fit your studio and each individual title.

Pricing
We want to make game server hosting costs as straightforward, transparent and predictable as we can.
That’s why we’ve arranged our pricing so that you only pay for server usage – not the fully managed operations service you also get. This way, your costs will depend simply on how many bare-metal machines or cloud vCPUs you use and how long they’re provisioned for. (You can dig into the different options for bare metal and cloud in our documentation.)

Tell us about your game and we’ll draw up a detailed cost model based on your specific hosting requirements.
Frequently asked questions
24/7 monitoring and support is included in our pricing. There are no additional support costs.
We support the three main public cloud providers: Google Cloud, Azure and AWS. If you have additional requirements, please contact us.
This is possible on request. For more details, please contact us.
You can use PC, PS4, Xbox, Switch and mobile, and you can use any game engine.
It typically only takes a couple of days to get fully set up and familiarised with our platform, and we will provide all the help you need. For porting live games, it can take a little longer (depending on the size), but as an example, we completed the port of Conan Exiles (100K CCU) in under two weeks.
