GRID Play simplifies in-game data operations, allowing developers to focus on building exceptional games instead of investing in infrastructure development and data management.

Building on the success of GRID Esports, trusted by Riot Games, KRAFTON, and Ubisoft to manage live data at scale, GRID Play brings official, structured play data solutions to all competitive multiplayer titles, capturing data across the entire player base—not just professional esports.

Game developers can extract, manage, and distribute pre-structured play data, gaining deeper insights into player performance and meta trends. GRID Play also provides engagement tools such as leaderboards, ranking systems, public managed APIs, and player stats, enhancing interactivity within gaming communities.

All GRID Play products are available through a single integration, compatible with any platform, game engine, or backend service. Developers retain full ownership of their data and control who accesses and utilizes it.

GRID Play is integrated into the GRID Data Platform alongside GRID Esports, GRID Bet, and GRID Fan.

“For years, GRID has been the backbone of real-time data infrastructure for some of the most demanding esports ecosystems. With GRID Play, we are bringing this expertise to all competitive multiplayer games, unlocking the full potential of structured, game-wide data for developers, communities, and players. Our mission has always been to unlock the potential of in-game data for everyone—now, we are providing game developers with the tools to create richer, more immersive, and data-driven experiences at every level of competition.”

— Moritz Maurer, CEO of GRID

GRID Play is now available to all game developers. Book a product demo online or schedule a meeting with the GRID team at GDC (March 17–21).
