Customers needing low-latency game servers able to scale with fluctuating player demand have benefited from per second billing for Amazon GameLift Linux instances. Based on customer feedback, we have now extended per second billing to Amazon GameLift Windows instances so that developers can focus on building their games instead of trying to maximize their usage to the hour across a large number of instances running for irregular time periods.
The updated Amazon GameLift instance billing is available in all supported Amazon GameLift regions, except AWS China regions. Visit Amazon GameLift Pricing to learn more.
