The workflow between mobile and web stays nearly identical!

Tech Behind Pley?

WebAssembly powers it. Unity’s a breeze to port; other engines like C++ work too.

Performance-Heavy Games?

If it runs on mobile, it’ll shine on web.

Build Reviews?

None! Upload builds (manually or via CI) and go live instantly in the Game Manager. There you can set it live to your players on all platforms with one single click!

Asset Hosting?

Pley hosts your initial build. Runtime assets ideally match your mobile setup; if not, we’ll host and deliver them. If you already use a CDN on mobile to deliver assets, just keep using the same setup for web with no changes!

IAPs & Offers?

Set up products in the Game Manager (manage.pley.com). Changes go live instantly. Use the Pley SDK for purchases and ads; the game-code otherwise should remain identical for delivering offers and deals to the player.
