Know what your server needs—and what to do next.

Keep the operating system you already know. Launch and operate supported game servers from a browser while the compute, worlds, and backups stay on your hardware.

Simple architecture

A control layer—not another rented server.

The lightweight agent reports capability and carries out supported tasks. It does not move ownership of the host or game data.

Managed shared relays

A reliable address without router chores.

For supported games, players connect through a platform-managed relay while your Swarm Host uses an outbound tunnel. Share a consistent public player address without buying a static residential IP or opening inbound ports on your router.

Comparison of a direct game connection blocked by a home router until port forwarding is configured and a Swarm Hosts relay carrying the connection through an outbound tunnel with no router changes.
No port forwardingThe outbound relay tunnel avoids inbound router rules. Consistent player addressShare the relay-backed or custom Swarm Hosts address shown for the server. Works with changing home IPsPlayers connect to the relay endpoint instead of your residential public IP.

Swarm Zones

One place to deploy. More ways to recover.

Group supported Windows and Linux machines into one launch target. Swarm Hosts places new servers on an eligible machine, while opt-in protection can recover qualifying servers after a verified host failure.

Comparison of a game server tied to one failed host without a Swarm Zone and the same server placed across three connected hosts with a Swarm Zone.
