PlayFab Game Server SDK
Overview
PlayFab Game Server SDK for C#, C++, and Java environments. The GSDK is used to integrate with PlayFab Multiplayer Servers and modify the game server lifecycle (check here for more info).
Experimental GSDKs
The experimental/ directory contains community-driven GSDK implementations for additional platforms (e.g., Go, Godot). These are not officially supported by PlayFab. They are provided on a best-effort basis — for help, please use GitHub Issues or the Microsoft Game Dev Discord.
Prerequisites
Samples
Check the gsdkSamples repo.
AI Skill: Validate Your GSDK Integration
This repo includes a validate-gsdk Agent Skill that checks your GSDK integration for common mistakes — missing callbacks, threading issues, deprecated APIs, and more. It works with GitHub Copilot and Claude Code.
To use it, copy the skill into your game server project:
# GitHub Copilot
cp -r path/to/gsdk/.github/skills/validate-gsdk .github/skills/
# Claude Code
cp -r path/to/gsdk/.github/skills/validate-gsdk .claude/skills/
Then ask your AI assistant:
Use the /validate-gsdk skill to check my GSDK integration.
See the skill README for full details and example output.
