GS2 usage fees

As a general rule, Game Server Services uses a pay-as-you-go style of pricing.

Fee Plans

Individual Plan Notes

The definition of “less than 10 million yen in sales over the past 12 months” includes sales from other businesses, not sales from games using GS2.

If the average number of requests per month exceeds 10 requests per second, or 100 requests per second continuously for a period of time, you will not be eligible for the individual plan. If you are ineligible, we will consider the time it will take to modify your application, but please act quickly.

If you are launching a game under the Individual Plan, you must include the GS2 logo in the “Launch Sequence” or “Title Screen”. You will receive the logo data and guidelines for display via chat when you are ready to release your game.

Free Slots

You can continue to use the Professional/Enterprise plan free of charge until you exceed the 100USD monthly limit. Once you exceed 100USD, you will be charged for the entire usage amount, not just the excess.

Usage Fees

General Fees

API request or List API request: When retrieving 30 or more records, in batches of 30

Annual Lump-Sum Payment

36,000 USD/year per 100,000,000 requests/month usage commitment No refunds will be issued even if monthly usage falls below the commitment. Usage fees exceeding the commitment will be calculated based on the monthly commitment tier.

Pricing Example

Assumption: Committing to 1,000,000,000 requests/month Upfront payment: 360,000 USD

Example 1: 500,000,000 requests/month (below commitment) Monthly payment: 0 USD/month Total: 360,000 USD + 0 USD/year (0 USD * 12 months) = 360,000 USD Under standard pricing, this would be 42,000 USD/month = 504,000 USD/year. Therefore, even if actual usage falls below the commitment, you save 144,000 USD/year.

Example 2: 3,000,000,000 requests/month (2,000,000,000 requests over) Monthly payment: 1,500,000,000 requests * 0.00006 USD + 500,000,000 requests * 0.00004 USD = 110,000 USD Total: 360,000 USD + 1,320,000 USD (110,000 USD * 12 months) = 1,680,000 USD Standard usage fee would be 194,000 USD/month = 2,328,000 USD/year, resulting in a savings of 64,800 USD/year
