Zeuz GmbH operates as a specialized provider of multiplayer game hosting and infrastructure, originating from Munich, Germany. The company was established in 2017 by its parent entity, GPORTAL, a prominent game server provider. The founding team includes co-CEOs Manuel Karg and Markus Schneider, alongside COO Sebastian Reckzeh and Roberto Omezzolli.
The firm's core business revolves around offering a hybrid cloud orchestration tool designed to help game studios efficiently scale their multiplayer game hosting. This service is structured to manage the backend complexities, such as server deployment, management, and automatic scaling, allowing developers to concentrate on game creation. The business model targets game developers, from indie to larger studios, providing the necessary infrastructure for online games, including server browsers, matchmaking customization, and gameserver orchestration. Zeuz has provided services for titles like "Conan Exiles," "SCUM," and "A Year of Rain."
A significant milestone in the company's history was securing €3.00M in a venture round on December 5, 2018, with backing from investors such as HV Capital, Vito Ventures, and Charlie Songhurst. This was followed by its acquisition by Improbable, a UK-based multiplayer technology company, on February 5, 2020. This acquisition was a strategic move for Improbable to build an end-to-end solution for multiplayer development, integrating Zeuz's managed hosting technology and operational expertise into its portfolio.
The platform's key features include the ability to deploy game applications, manage and access game servers through a unified interface, and automate the scaling of these servers based on demand. This allows for a cost-effective management of the multiplayer environment for clients. The technology is designed for flexibility, enabling it to work across different cloud infrastructures and cater to the specific needs of game studios.
