Online Services

Use Unreal Engine's Online Services to extend your project's online experience.

The Online Services plugin and its interfaces provide a common way to access the functionality of various online services. The design of the Online Services plugin ensures that the only changes developers need to make when working on a game that ships on multiple platforms, or supports multiple online services, are configuration adjustments for each supported service.
