Case Study: Saber Interactive achieves record-breaking Space Marine 2 launch with Gcore

How we provided the infrastructure for the global release of Saber Interactive video games

Saber Interactive, a major game developer, needed a robust and scalable infrastructure solution to handle the massive surge in player demand for the record-breaking launch of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Their challenge was to prevent performance bottlenecks, latency issues, or downtime by selecting an optimal infrastructure provider that could integrate with their proprietary Hydra middleware for a hybrid server approach. They turned to their long-term partner, Gcore, for this critical project.

Gcore provided over 300 optimized bare metal servers and high-performance virtual machines, seamlessly integrating with Saber's Hydra platform to create a flexible, hybrid infrastructure. With built-in DDoS protection and a pay-as-you-go model, Gcore's solution delivered minimal latency and unwavering stability. This partnership powered a massively successful launch, enabling the game to set a new franchise record with over 400,000 concurrent players and attract more than two million players within the first few days.
