PriorityConfiguration

Custom prioritization settings to use with a game session queue. Prioritization settings determine how the queue selects a game hosting resource to start a new game session. This configuration replaces the default prioritization process for queues.

By default, a queue makes game session placements based on the following criteria:

• When a game session request does not include player latency data, Amazon GameLift Servers places game sessions based on the following priorities: (1) the queue's default destination order, and (2) for multi-location fleets, an alphabetic list of locations.

• When a game session request includes player latency data, Amazon GameLift Servers re-orders the queue's destinations to make placements where the average player latency is lowest. It reorders based the following priorities: (1) the lowest average latency across all players, (2) the lowest hosting cost, (3) the queue's default destination order, and (4) for multi-location fleets, an alphabetic list of locations.
