      You will work with Photon Fusion and Photon Quantum

      Photon helps you build experiences like those in some of the world's most successful multiplayer games, such as Stumble Guys, Golf Clash, and Among Us.

      Photon Fusion is a new high performance state synchronization networking library for Unity. Fusion is built with simplicity in mind to integrate naturally into the common Unity workflow, while also offering advanced features like data compression, client-side prediction and lag compensation out of the box.

      Photon Quantum is a high-performance deterministic ECS (Entity Component System) framework for online multiplayer games made with Unity. It uses a method called predict/rollback, ideal for latency-sensitive online games like action RPGs, sports games, fighting games, FPS and more.
