Featureset for consoles​

We provide a number of tools and features, built directly into our dashboard, APIs and SDKs that are designed to make it easy to support UGC on console platforms. These include:

  • SDKs and engine plugins for Unity and Unreal that have abstracted networking and data storage layers to allow any platform or future system to be supported with minimal engineering effort required
  • Fully compliant moderation systems that allow you to control UGC released onto each platform
  • Ability to upload platform-specific UGC files, helpful if you need to “compile” UGC to work with each respective platform
  • Tagging and metadata systems to manage UGC on a per-platform basis
  • Platform and portal headers used to localize content (i.e. display names) and other settings automatically
  • Word filtering and other processes required by each platform
  • Support for onboarding, and certification requirements around UGC
  • Advanced metrics and reporting so you can compare the usage of UGC, trending content and other key stats across all platforms your games are released
  • Rules based moderation flows to streamline and automate moderation depending on the platform(s) targeted
  • Monetization that is compliant with each platforms rules and supports their payment flows
