Road to the Metaverse
Episode 6: Building the metaverse with Unity Gaming Services (UGS)
Join us live on January 24, 2023 at 9 am PT for our first session of the year.
In the first episode of the Road to the Metaverse for 2023, Ryan will be joined by the General Manager of Unity’s Gaming Services, Jeff Collins.
Unity Gaming Services (UGS) helps developers create, operate, scale, and monetize their live game using a single modular platform. While UGS was built for game developers, it is also widely used by industrial clients to create custom metaverse and digital twin solutions.
With the roots of the metaverse entrenched in games, it only makes sense that UGS is the essential tool set to help businesses lay the foundation for their metaverse strategies. Join Jeff and Ryan as they discuss the following:
- How UGS can translate to the metaverse
- Non-gaming use cases for UGS
- The need for creating unique immersive experiences and how UGS can solve for it
- The future of the metaverse through the lens of UGS and much more
Make sure you bring your questions for a live Q&A with Jeff and Ryan.
