The backend game engine behind the biggest launches

Full source, runs locally, extend anything.

From the WARDOGS launch

"The decision to outsource our backend meant putting all of our businesses trust in Chris Cobb and Eden Chen's teams, so I just want to say emphatically... We bet our whole business on the Pragma platform. If you're looking for an endorsement or a reference, who the f*** do you think you are making your own backend. Use Pragma."

Joe Brammer
"I just wanna build a great game that's fun. I don't want to worry about the backend."
Robbie Singh
"Pragma handles all the work that live service games live and die on, from accounts to matchmaking, allowing us to focus on creating a deeply engaging sandbox PvPvE experience."
Stephen Lim
"The Pragma team have been incredible partners since day one. The Pragma Engine has enabled us to rapidly build and iterate on key features, enhancing the game experience while allowing our team to focus on delivering the best possible game for players."
Scott Probst
"Of course we're using Pragma, all the best studios use their engine. It just makes sense, they are the best in the world."
Serge Knystautas
"Live service games live and die by their ability to respond and iterate, and ultimately you can't do that unless you have full control, and you don't have that unless all of the code is in your hands and you have the flexibility to make any changes you want. Pragma's source code Engine offers the ability to take advantage of their experience and their direct support, while still allowing us to build everything we wanted to and write all the code ourselves."
