Hi all, As of now (start September 2023) Netcode for Entities has support for Unity Relay Services.
It does not look though as if there is support for using Steam Relay Services (with Netcode for Entities).
We would like to use Steam Relay services because 1. we plan to launch on Steam and 2. when you launch on Steam the Relay service comes free of charge.

I know the UGS relay also starts free but with a DOTS/ECS based game our calculations suggest that the 150GiB pr month free cap could potentially quickly be eaten up. Unfortunately making the game subscription based is not an option for us.

Anyone in here know if and how Steam Relay Services is in the pipeline for Netcode for Entities any time soon?

Unity Transport that Netcode uses under the hood is flexible enough to hook up your own transport

#

We have users here who have hooked up EOS etc

#

Personally I doubt you will see official support for it anytime soon, but agian it shouldn't be too hard to add your own transport

there's already a community effort supported by unity to add support for various transport packages

#

technically this is for netcode for gameobjects but it's a good starting point
