Case Study: Crytek achieves low-latency gameplay and rapid on-demand scaling with Leaseweb

Crytek - Customer Case Study

Crytek, the Frankfurt-based developer behind franchises like Far Cry and Crysis and creator of CRYENGINE, needed faultless online performance as it expanded into Games-as-a-Service. The company faced challenges around low-latency global hosting, physical proximity to players, and the ability to rapidly scale and customize infrastructure after launches or updates without long-term lock-ins.

Leaseweb delivered a mix of Dedicated Servers, Private Cloud, network connectivity and security across key locations (Germany, UK, Netherlands, Hong Kong, Sydney), plus on‑demand reserved capacity and a customer portal for quick customizations. Leaseweb enabled a two-week migration, rapid scaling (400 servers in two weeks for Hunt: Showdown), and ongoing low-latency, high-availability service—giving Crytek the speed, flexibility and operational model it needed to support global online play.
