What is the Photon Server/Engine?

What is the
Photon?

Photon is an on-premises* real-time socket


server and cross-platform multiplayer game
development framework.

By 2023, it is No.1 independent


cross-platform network engine.

*on-premises: The deployment of software happens in


the local environment (in-house).

on-cloud: on-demand computing services over the


internet
Photon Server

Photon Server vs. Photon


Cloud
Photon Server is a On Premise (OnPrem) server application that you can run and
host on machines of your choice – configured and set up, maintained by the users.

Photon Cloud is running on Photon Server. It is a Software as a Service (SaaS) and


as such a fully managed service – hosted and configured by the Photon Cloud service.
Photon Unity Networking (PUN)

Photon Unity Networking (PUN) is a Unity package for multiplayer


games.
It re-implements and enhances the features of Unity’s built-in
networking.
Photon Pun
With PUN, you already have a real dedicated server you can connect to and where rooms
actually exist. The client that creates a room is the first one to join it. It will be marked as a
Master Client known by everyone inside the room. A Master Client is not a host nor a
server but just a special client that can do extra stuff (pseudo-authoritative).

In Pun however, one of the Pun clients needs to act as a server, a true dedicated server or
real host. Ping and latency will depend on the connection to the hosting player.
