Amazon GameLift Servers now available in 5 new AWS Regions and 8 Local Zones

Hello GameLift Servers developers,

We're excited to announce that Amazon GameLift Servers is now available in 5 new AWS Regions and 8 AWS Local Zones worldwide. This expansion brings dedicated game server hosting closer to players across Latin America, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, helping you reduce latency and deliver more responsive gameplay experiences.

High latency caused by geographic distance between players and servers remains one of the most common challenges in multiplayer game development. With this expansion, you can now deploy game server fleets in locations that better serve your global player base, addressing latency challenges head-on.

The 5 new AWS Regions are il-central-1 (Tel Aviv), mx-central-1 (Mexico/Queretaro), eu-south-2 (Spain/Zaragoza), ap-south-2 (Hyderabad), and ap-southeast-3 (Jakarta). The 8 new AWS Local Zones are us-east-1-atl-2 (Atlanta), us-east-1-chi-2 (Chicago), us-east-1-iah-2 (Houston), us-east-1-mia-2 (Miami), us-west-2-phx-2 (Phoenix), sa-east-1-bue-1 (Buenos Aires), us-east-1-nyc-2 (NYC), and sa-east-1-lim-1 (Lima).
