Okay quick update, I just stumbled across this post:

> Looking on source code, it’s indeed looks like Google Play OnlineSubsystem does not support game sessions [https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/e607ba4d978c08a26e8e8e629dec0884bb161770/Engine/Source/Runtime/Online/Android/OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay/Private/OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay.cpp#L45](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/e607ba4d978c08a26e8e8e629dec0884bb161770/Engine/Source/Runtime/Online/Android/OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay/Private/OnlineSubsystemGooglePlay.cpp#L45) I never used Google Play multiplayer, but it seems it has some form of session support: Or it’s not implemented (yet?) or Google Play session support don’t fit to OnlineSubsystem interface LAck o…

It looks like the OSS only gives access to achievements etc, but matchmaking and sessions isn’t supported by it.

Apparently there is something called Open Match that gives this opportunity, I will dig into it tomorrow.

If anyone having such a thing set up has any advices about what to use, for both Android and iOS (no cross matchmaking), I would happily take those 😊
