Summary

Automated weekly freshness sweep for 2026-07-24. Two verified material changes found and applied; six platforms unchanged (no verifiable material changes since their respective lastUpdated dates).

Every edit is sourced to an official primary source and must pass the neutrality check before merge.


Changes per platform

PlayFab — lastUpdated bumped from 2026-06 to 2026-07

pricingDetails corrected: Development Mode player limit changed from 100K to 1,000 unique users.

Microsoft updated Development Mode limits on March 11, 2026, reducing the free-tier user cap from 100,000 monthly active users to 1,000 unique users (lifetime, not monthly active). The previous entry still showed "100K players per title", which contradicts the current official documentation. Foundation Mode (Xbox publishers, unlimited players, no monthly fee) was introduced as a separate path at the same time.


Heroic Labs (Nakama) — lastUpdated bumped from 2026-02 to 2026-07

iapValidation.description updated: Samsung Galaxy Store added as a supported IAP platform.

Nakama v3.40.0 (released July 13, 2026) added Samsung Galaxy Store purchase validation, introducing a SAMSUNG_GALAXY_STORE store provider enum and associated runtime hooks. The previous description listed Apple App Store, Google Play, and Huawei only. The sourceUrl for this feature is updated to the release notes page, which is an official primary source (heroiclabs/nakama on GitHub).
