Is it possible to run unreal headless server instances in heroic cloud, ie use unreal to handle netcode and matches and let nakama handle matchmaking, storage and authentication?

Hi @SnappierSoap318 you can use Unreal to handle your game networking and Nakama to handle the other parts as you mentioned. It’s not possible to run Unreal headless server instances in Heroic Cloud. You will need to host your Unreal servers elsewhere and setup the communication between them.
