PatchKit documentation

PatchKit is a cloud-based, game-oriented content distribution service. It bundles a customizable launcher, a CDN, binary-diff updates, license-key management, and a web panel so you can ship and update your game without building your own infrastructure.

Where to start

• New to PatchKit? Begin with Overview to learn how the pieces fit together, then follow Publishing Your First App.
• Publishing a game through the web panel? See Applications for the full reference, Launchers to pick a launcher variant, and Account for collaborator roles and billing.
• Building a custom launcher? Start with Launchers to compare variants, then dive into the Launcher SDK (Electron-based) or the Visual Editor Launcher (no code).
• Integrating via CI or automation? Use the pkt command-line tool for uploads and channel pushes, and the REST API for custom integrations.
• Shipping a Unity game? The Unity Extension uploads your build straight from the Unity editor.
