Regions and locations

by default, we have ten regions you can use speak with your account manager to check whether you have access to them all here are the codes that we use to refer to each region region locations eu west e g london, paris, amsterdam & frankfurt eu east e g warsaw na east e g washington dc, ashburn, manassas, miami & new york na central e g dallas & chicago na west e g san jose, los angeles, seattle & santa clara sa east e g sao paulo asia east e g singapore & hong kong asia northeast e g tokyo & seoul oce east e g sydney locations can vary within a region as we constantly look for the best sites and providers, check with our support team if you'd like to know what specific locations are available if you want a location that's not on this list, let us know, and we will do what we can to accommodate your needs the regional breakdown can also depend on the matchmaker you choose to use, please inform the support team of any nuances that may not match what we have above as there might be things that can be done to aid your custom scenarios how to make a region specific request "location" "eu west", what's the difference between regions and locations? a region is just a collection of different geographical locations however, each location might have different (or multiple) providers by default, we automatically pick the best location inside a region to create your session based on availability for example, if you pick eu west we launch sessions in amsterdam, london, paris or frankfurt instead depending on what is available but we wouldn't scale across regions so, in this example, we wouldn't launch in hong kong this ensures that the session will be a good experience for the player while letting us scale to meet your demand and, if there's a problem, we can switch off individual locations or providers this stops us from trying to spin up more sessions in a location that might be having problems, like a denial of service (ddos) attack instead, we can deploy sessions on healthy providers or locations
