Amazon GameLift Streams now supports Proton 10 runtime

Amazon GameLift Streams now supports Proton 10, an updated version of the Proton compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux-based stream classes. Proton 10 improves game compatibility for newer titles, has updated graphic translation layers for improved performance (VKD3D/DXVK) for many titles, updates to the Media Foundation to fix black screen, color bar, long standing video playback issues, and much more.

With Proton 10, game developers can stream a broader catalog of Windows titles — including modern DirectX 12 games — to end users on any device with improved rendering quality and performance. Proton 10 is available at no additional cost; existing Amazon GameLift Streams pricing for Linux stream classes applies.

You can use Proton 10 in all AWS Regions where Amazon GameLift Streams is available. For a full list of supported Regions, see the AWS Region table.

To get started, select Proton 10 as the runtime when creating or updating stream groups. To learn more, see Runtime environment in the Amazon GameLift Streams Developer Guide.
