PubNub SDK

🚀 PubNub SDK 🚀

Quickly add interactive real-time features to your Unreal game such as game lobbies & matchmaking, live leaderboards, and in-game notifications without building the backend infrastructure.

Overview:

The PubNub Unreal SDK empowers you to build, manage, and optimize real-time, interactive game experiences for your players using either Blueprints or C++. This SDK offers a seamless way to leverage PubNub's real-time infrastructure for your UE projects to create interactive features that boost player engagement and retention, such as in-game chat, lobbies, friend lists, live leaderboards, and more. 

With minimal setup, you can build immersive multiplayer experiences, handle large-scale player interactions, and ensure fast, reliable messaging, so you can focus on building your game, not the infrastructure.
