About Photon Fusion - Multiplayer SDK
- Tools, Systems & Learning > Game Templates & Systems
Photon Fusion is a state-sync multiplayer SDK that simplifies networking best practices and brings advanced features from modern AAA multiplayer games to Unity.
Free for 100 CCU, Fusion is built for games of any size, from a casual 2-player co-op game to fast-paced action games with large player counts and eSports accuracy. Fusion gives Unity developers flexible network topologies, accurate simulation, efficient bandwidth usage, and a workflow that stays close to regular Unity development.
Photon Fusion 2.1 represents the highest standard of quality and compatibility within the Unity multiplayer ecosystem as a certified Unity Verified Solution with 100s of samples, clear documentation, and code.

Network Topologies
Fusion supports both Shared Authority and Client-Server topologies, with the latter supporting both Dedicated Servers and Client Hosts.
Fusion Shared Authority is the easiest way to launch a multiplayer game with accurate tick-aligned data between clients. Using Fusion Shared means you don't have to worry about hosting while keeping accurate snapshot interpolation. Shared Authority runs directly on top of the battle-proven Photon Cloud, so teams can build global multiplayer hits without operating a dedicated server fleet.
Fusion Client Host and Dedicated Server provide more accuracy with Client Side Prediction, Sub-Tick Lag Compensation, configurable input delay, and flexible tick and send rates. Dedicated Servers can run on your own infrastructure, giving you control over deployment, customization, and direct client connections.
Fusion also includes Object Send Priority, giving developers control over how often specific networked objects are updated. This helps reduce bandwidth for less important or distant objects, including per-player priority control.
Network Physics
The Unity Physics addon included with Fusion simplifies managing complex interactions of physical objects in networked environments. Client Side Prediction and Rollback of Rigidbody and Rigidbody2D provide snappy feedback to the player.
Forecast Physics provides a lower-CPU alternative for physics-based multiplayer interactions, helping physics objects remain smoothly interactable across clients without relying on full physics prediction for every interaction.
Lag Compensation in Fusion automatically uses the correct interpolated animation for hitbox position from Render, supports 2D & 3D use cases, can query against the physics scene, and includes support for 3D capsule hitboxes.
Network Gameplay
The Change Detection API allows tick-accurate detection of changes in network properties, which is essential for gameplay mechanics, and render-accurate detection for smooth display and interpolation of visual effects (VFX).
Fusion supports Networked Properties, RPCs, Large Data RPCs, scene management, and consistent player identity across reconnects through Player Unique Id.
Our Finite State Machine (FSM) addon helps you manage your game world transitions logic and conditions. Using our networked FSM in game development provides several benefits, including easier maintenance, better organization, and reduced complexity.
Kinematic Character Controller
As an included addon, Simple KCC gives you a user-friendly 3D character controller for Fusion, simplifying character movement creation in multiplayer projects and enhancing features over Unity's CharacterController.
Animation Accuracy is essential in multiplayer games. Fusion provides Tick and Render Accurate animations with multiple different approaches for synchronizing animations over the network.
- Fusion 2.1 includes improvements and features across all topologies, including:
* Interest Management System
The Interest Management System gives you control over each player's Area of Interest, providing reliable Enter/Exit callbacks and network culling. Shared Authority also supports configurable AOI grid and cell sizes for more control over visibility and bandwidth. Complex interest shapes, such as combinations of cones and spheres, can be used.
* Scene Management
Unity Scene Management in Fusion supports more cases out of the box, eliminating the need for custom support for addressable scenes. Tagging scenes with the FusionScenes label enables automatic recognition and supports additive loading of up to 8 scenes simultaneously, with versioning that lets clients reload scenes through the SceneAuthority.
* XR/VR Input Option
The VR input option drastically reduces bandwidth for XR/VR games and apps that require a lot of input data. The server now operates with a complete stream of inputs even if a few individual packets are lost.
* Encryption
Fusion now offers robust, hassle-free end-to-end encryption for gameplay traffic, automatically securing data exchange between clients and Photon Cloud in all Fusion topologies.
* Streaming and Large Data
Fusion supports reliable streaming of large data and Large Data RPCs for bigger gameplay messages and payloads.
* Offline Support
Offline is supported as a topology, facilitating development and testing by simulating networked gameplay without network communication.
* Debugging and Tooling
Fusion supports breakpoint-friendly debugging in Client-Server Topologies, including Unity Multiplayer Play Mode. Fusion Hub provides a streamlined onboarding workflow directly in Unity, including Shared Authority-focused guidance.
* Session Reliability
Fusion includes improved handling of cloud connection loss, helping server sessions recover quickly when needed and reducing disruption for connected clients.
Fusion Essentials
Fusion includes matchmaking, lobby and room management, while our Photon Cloud handles host migration, NAT punchthrough, DDoS protection, reliability, and more.
