GameSpy has partnered with Epic Games to offer all of GameSpy Technology’s sweet, sweet services to developers using Epic’s Unreal 3 engine for PC and PLAYSTATION 3 games. Your users can now play, communicate and compete together as a single community across both platforms – and you’ll sweat less making it happen.
We’ve done the heavy lifting for you, creating a “GameSpy subsystem” that pre-packages everything you need to get your game online directly into the Unreal 3 engine – just license, connect and go.

Why GameSpy?
While Epic offered a full suite of online functionality to licensees of the Unreal 1 and 2 engines, they decided not to do this for the Unreal 3 engine. They opted instead to focus on core engine development and avoid duplicating others’ efforts. Enter GameSpy – the industry leader in providing online technology to games, to fill the gap.
Platform Availability
GameSpy develops everything with multi-platform use in mind. The full range of tools is available on both PC and PLAYSTATION 3 and can be used to build cross-platform play into your games. GameSpy Technology works for Mac and Linux too – stay tuned for news from Epic on the availability of their engine for those platforms. Flexible solutions are also available for Xbox 360 developers.
