Game Downloads
Give players worldwide fast and reliable downloads of game installers, patches and updates, with advanced features including segmented file downloads for any file size.
Developing and delivering Internet-enabled games is not rated E for everyone. As games get faster, richer, and more interactive, players get less patient with lag, downloads, down-rezzing, and device incompatibility.
StackPath is a complete edge-computing platform, giving you a full range of options for solving these challenges by placing game workloads and applications closer to players than ever before. See how. Game on.
“StackPath knows the needs of game developers and publishers. They make sure our content is always performing its best.”
