Amazon GameLift Servers now available in 5 new regions and 8 Local Zones

Amazon GameLift Servers is a fully managed service for deploying, operating, and scaling dedicated game servers for multiplayer games. High latency caused by geographic distance between players and servers remains one of the most common challenges in multiplayer game development. This expansion helps game developers and studios address that challenge by bringing Amazon GameLift Servers to 5 new AWS Regions and 8 AWS Local Zones worldwide.

With this expansion, customers can deploy game server fleets closer to players across Latin America, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, reducing latency and improving gameplay responsiveness.

The 5 new AWS Regions are il-central-1 (Tel Aviv), mx-central-1 (Mexico/Queretaro), eu-south-2 (Spain/Zaragoza), ap-south-2 (Hyderabad), and ap-southeast-3 (Jakarta). The 8 new AWS Local Zones are us-east-1-atl-2 (Atlanta), us-east-1-chi-2 (Chicago), us-east-1-iah-2 (Houston), us-east-1-mia-2 (Miami), us-west-2-phx-2 (Phoenix), sa-east-1-bue-1 (Buenos Aires), us-east-1-nyc-2 (NYC) and sa-east-1-lim-1 (Lima).
