Overview
Nodecraft is a cloud platform for game server hosting that serves both players and game studios. Gamers use Nodecraft Pro, a subscription service to create and manage personal multiplayer servers for 30+ titles with features like game swap, a custom control panel, automated tasks, one-click mod installers, and cloud backups. Developers use Nodecraft Studio (launched in 2024), a low-code SDK that lets players buy and create servers in-game while Nodecraft handles backend infrastructure, payments, and support, sharing revenue with the studio. The platform runs on a global bare-metal serverless architecture with DDoS protection to deliver low-latency performance, and it aims to simplify multiplayer hosting and turn game servers into revenue streams for studios.
