The future of competitive gaming is open, flexible, and creator-driven, and it is here. In this session, Skillz unveils the next evolution of its SDK platform, an upgrade that builds on our foundation to empower developers to monetize their games through skill-based competition. The Skillz platform powers real-money gameplay through head-to-head matchups, live events, and leaderboards that engage millions of players worldwide. The new Skillz Pro SDK builds on this foundation, increasing flexibility, expanding creative possibilities, and unlocking additional monetization opportunities. It enhances how competition, engagement tools, and rewards come together in a more advanced development flow that delivers faster gameplay, richer progression, and deeper personalization.
