[comparegamebackends-updates]

Weekly freshness sweep (2026-10). Every edit below is backed by an official source and must pass the neutrality check before merge. Only lib/backends.ts changed.

PlayFab

• Development Mode: limit corrected from 100K to 1,000 unique users per title (10 titles unchanged); notes Development Mode is being replaced by Foundation Mode for new titles as of March 11, 2026. Edited pricingDetails and one strengths line. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/playfab/pricing/development-mode
• Added that page to sources; lastUpdated -> 2026-10.
• Not changed: plan prices ($99 / $1,999) could not be re-verified (playfab.com/pricing returned 403 to the sweep).

AWS GameLift

• Location counts updated from 26 regions / 9 Local Zones to 28 AWS Regions / 18 Local Zones (multiplayer, globalScaling, strengths). Counts taken from the service locations table (China regions not counted): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gameliftservers/latest/developerguide/gamelift-regions.html. Corroborating announcement of 5 new Regions and 8 new Local Zones: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/09/amazon-gamelift-servers-region-expansion-2026/
• Added the locations page to sources; lastUpdated -> 2026-10. Reviewer note: the sourceUrl on the multiplayer and globalScaling entries still points at the earlier pages, so the new counts are backed by the sources entry.

No change: Metaplay, Heroic Labs, Unity Gaming Services, Colyseus, brainCloud, AccelByte. The sweep found newer releases (e.g. Colyseus 0.17, brainCloud 6.1.0, AGS 2026.5.0) but no verified change to a field the data currently carries.

npm run build and tsc --noEmit pass; lint has one existing warning.
