Hi,

Can I ask for confirmation, UNET Match Maker in the UNET Multiplayer, is this something I need to pay for?
Does Unity charge me for the number of players using this feature?

Thanks

To my understanding, once you go live unet charges for data used by people conected by the matchmaker(the relay server).

Scroll down a bit there and it has some costs per bandwidth used with some estimates based on player numbers.
It’s a paid service as the data flows through their servers and ensures a connection can be made between players & game servers.

Note that if you’re just using UNET and handling connections and server browsing yourself or through third party services this doesn’t apply (UNET can function without using the built-in matchmaking).
