About

Vanguard Outrider is a demo game for PlayFab that was created at the 2019 Microsoft Hackathon. It serves multiple purposes:

• Populate a PlayFab title with data so new users can see one method of using the system
• Let users experiment with a functional game
• Provide sample source code and best practices for catalogs, stores, player data, Cloud Script, and more

Technology

This is a static React website written in TypeScript. It can be run locally, and the source code is available on GitHub. While it doesn’t have any characters or story, it has a tiny amount of gameplay that makes charts in PlayFab light up.

Use

About 40 customers a week use Vanguard Outrider to try out PlayFab. Our customer success team uses it for demos. The leadership team uses it to show the PlayStream feed that shows events in real time.
