Migrate from PlayFlow 1.0

If you’re currently using PlayFlow 1.0, migrating to PlayFlow Cloud is straightforward. This guide will walk you through the process of transferring your existing game servers and builds to our new platform.

​
Create your PlayFlow Cloud account

To begin migrating to PlayFlow Cloud, you’ll need to create a new account:
  1. Visit app.playflowcloud.com
  2. Sign up with your email or connect with your GitHub/Google account
  3. Verify your email address if prompted
Even if you had a PlayFlow 1.0 account, you’ll need to create a new account for PlayFlow Cloud. This ensures you get access to all the new features and improved infrastructure.

​
Set up your organization

Organizations help you manage your game projects and team collaborations:
  1. After logging in, you’ll be prompted to create an organization
  2. Give your organization a descriptive name (e.g., your studio name)
  3. Optional: Invite team members by entering their email addresses
    • Team members will receive an invitation email
    • They can access all projects within your organization

​
Create your project

Set up a project for your migrated game:
  1. From your organization dashboard, click Create Project
  2. Enter the same name as your PlayFlow 1.0 project (or choose a new one)
  3. Optional: Add a description to help identify the project
  4. Click Create Project to proceed

​
Import your builds from PlayFlow 1.0

This is where the magic happens - PlayFlow Cloud can automatically import your existing builds:
  1. Navigate to the Builds tab in your new project
  2. Look for the Import from PlayFlow 1.0 button
  3. Click the import button to begin the migration process
  4. You’ll be prompted to authenticate with your PlayFlow 1.0 credentials
  5. Select which builds you want to migrate from your PlayFlow 1.0 project
  6. Wait for the import process to complete
Make sure you have your PlayFlow 1.0 API key ready. The import process requires your API key to access your existing builds.
The import process will:
  • Transfer your server executables and assets
  • Preserve your build configurations
  • Maintain build version history where possible

​
Verify your imported builds

After the import completes:
  1. Review the imported builds in your Builds tab
  2. Check that all necessary files were transferred correctly
  3. Verify build configurations match your PlayFlow 1.0 setup
  4. Test deploy one of your imported builds to ensure everything works

​
Configure network settings

Your network configurations may need to be updated for PlayFlow Cloud:
  1. Go to the Configuration tab in your project
  2. Under Network Configuration, review and update port settings:
    • Verify which ports should be open (TCP/UDP)
    • Confirm the main port your game clients will connect to
  3. Save your network settings
PlayFlow Cloud may have different networking requirements than PlayFlow 1.0. Double-check your port configurations to ensure proper connectivity.

​
Deploy and test

Now you’re ready to deploy your migrated server:
  1. Navigate to the Servers tab
  2. Click Create Server
  3. Select one of your imported builds
  4. Choose your deployment region
  5. Select your server type
  6. Click Launch Server
Test the deployment with your game client to ensure everything works as expected.
