    For those unfamiliar with PlayFab, they offer free relay for developers on players who login through Xbox Live. Given Unity's close collaboration with Microsoft, think you guys can take advantage of that and tap into their Xbox Live network and incorporate it as an option for Unity Relay?

    I could just use PlayFab but I prefer Unity services but the cost savings on the Live network would be massive for my use case.

    Hello,

    That's a really cool opportunity. We unfortunately do not have such partnership with Xbox for Relay.
    But I am pretty sure our Sales team would love to hear your use case, and might even have options for you.

    In the meantime, we have a generous free tier for Relay, so depending on your usage, you might still see massive savings with us.

    Thanks!

    I already knew the outcome but wanted to ask anyway since I have nothing to lose :D

    I will need to do another look and optimize my bandwidth transmissions to see if I can minimize costs on Relay.

    Also, thanks for responding @Alexis_UGS!
