Does the GameMode override have to be set per map?

Under Edit → Project Settings → Maps & Modes there is a field called “Default GameMode”. Does this only apply to the Editor?

#Config/DefaultEngine.ini

You can set the default game mode for all maps and the independent game instance using:

[/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings]
GameDefaultMap=/Game/Maps/Example_Map
EditorStartupMap=/Game/Maps/Example_Map
GlobalDefaultGameMode="/Script/YourGame.YourGameGameMode"

The above also sets the default map when running game from command prompt

Thanks Rama.

I noticed the setting for GlobalDefaultGameMode in DefaultGame.ini but did not have this in the DefaultEngine.ini . Do you know of somewhere in the documentation where the differences between the different ini’s and their settings is?
