Case Study: Square Enix achieves stable global game delivery and cost reduction with CDNetworks

CdNetworks Provides Global Capacity And Flexible Support For Square Enix

Square Enix, a leading global games company known for franchises like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, needed a highly stable, cost‑effective way to deliver large volumes of game assets worldwide. Their priorities were uninterrupted service during traffic spikes (new releases, events, media), resilience through a multi‑CDN strategy to avoid vendor outages, and reducing CDN costs without changing existing distribution specifications or disrupting apps.

CDNetworks was chosen for its wide global PoP coverage, capacity, configurability, stable performance and strong cost contribution, plus fast, flexible support. After thorough testing and minor setting adjustments, CDNetworks was integrated without major spec changes; the result was steady, low‑latency distribution, quick recovery from the one incident encountered, reduced distribution costs and scalable global delivery (200+ PoPs) to support Square Enix’s ongoing expansion.
