Unity Technologies has bought the game server hosting Multiplay Digital division of United Kingdom retailer Game Digital for $25.2 million. The deal is part of the company’s ambition to be more than a game engine maker and to provide all sorts of services. In this case, it offloads game server hosting for multiplayer games for publishers and developers, so they can focus on developing a game and not managing online services.

Multiplay supports server hosting for games such as Titanfall 2, Day Z, Rocket League, and Rust.
