Blueprints for S3 (AWS File Storage & Transfer)

Building a game with cloud-based assets requires a rock-solid bridge between your local storage and the cloud. Blueprints for S3 is a high-performance, Blueprint-native suite that gives you direct access to the most powerful storage tools in the AWS ecosystem.

Whether you're building a custom DLC launcher, an incremental update system, or a global cloud-save feature, this plugin provides the professional-grade file management you need without touching C++.

🚀 Key Features

• Comprehensive Module Support: Direct Blueprint access to:

  • S3 & S3Control: Create, manage, and configure buckets and objects.

  • Transfer Manager: High-level, optimized nodes for uploading and downloading files with progress tracking.

  • S3Encryption: Ensure your data is secure at rest with industry-standard encryption.

  • S3Outposts: Support for AWS Outposts for hybrid cloud environments.

• Optimized File Transfer: Use the Transfer module to handle large files efficiently. Perfect for downloading DLC, new maps, or high-resolution textures during runtime.

• Cloud Save Systems: Easily serialize player data (with the Auto DeSerialize Plugin) and push it to S3 for cross-platform progression.

• Incremental Updates: Build your own launcher or in-game updater by checking S3 object metadata and downloading only the files that have changed.

• Asynchronous Operations: All uploads and downloads run on background threads, keeping your game's UI and frame rate responsive.

🛠 Practical Use Cases

• Online Save Games: Securely store player progress in the cloud, allowing them to resume their game on any device.

• User-Generated Content (UGC): Let players share levels, character presets, or screenshots by uploading them directly to S3.

• Live Content Delivery: Update in-game news, textures, or configuration files without requiring a full game patch.
