Pragma

Pragma is a backend infrastructure company for game developers, used by more than half of top PC and console studios (including studios such as Bungie, EA, and Remedy) to launch and operate live games. The Pragma Platform provides a game backend engine (game loops, player data, live operations, telemetry, and admin dashboards), plus social and commerce services (cross-platform authentication with Steam, Discord, Twitch, PlayStation, Xbox and more, virtual currency, entitlements, and order management). Pragma Connect packages these as a suite of backend tools for Unreal and Unity. Pragma also operates FirstLook, a playtest and community-management platform that runs onboarding, key management, surveys, rewards, creator programs, and player analytics — and exposes a public external REST API (scoped API tokens), Unity/Unreal SDKs, and a hosted MCP server for AI assistants. Added to the API Evangelist network from VC-portfolio signal (Greylock, Insight Partners) and enriched from Pragma's public developer surface.

Pragma publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Infrastructure, Gaming, Game Backend, and Live Operations.

Pragma’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, support, and 16 more developer resources.
