Live Services
Live services in games refer to the process of continually adding to a game and evolving its mechanics and content. Live service games tend to feature robots roadmaps for content which often include new areas, enemies, weapons, and enemies, though they’re not considered to be essential for players to enjoy the core experience. Live service titles have grown in popularity in recent years, with many titles being successful in retaining and growing their audience over periods of months and years with regular updates and fresh content.

Let us help you
Live services refer to the process of producing new content on an ongoing basis for an existing game to extend its lifecycle, encourage existing players to continue playing and attract new players. Content produced from live services is generally not critical to the core experience and is more geared toward players who wish to have more experiences with the existing game.
Live services enhance games by bringing new quality content to players over months or even years. Though players might end up completing the base game, new content stemming from live services can encourage players to stay with the game over longer periods.
As part of live services, numerous types of content can be created. As part of a common live services roadmap, smaller additions such as new weapons, character, and weapon skins, and new armor. Larger scale additions such as full expansions that add new stories, characters, and locations are also commonplace, though they’re released less frequently than smaller updates due to the sheer amount of time required for the development.
