Sign In. Getting Started. Steamworks Documentation. Overview Steam's peer-to-peer matchmaking is built around the concept of a lobby. A lobby is a entity that lives on the Steam back-end servers that is a lot like a chat room. Users can create a new lobby; associate data with a lobby; search for lobbies based on that data; join lobbies; and share information with other users in the lobby. A single lobby can have up to users in it, although typically most games have at most players. Skill-based matchmaking is built on top of this system. The Steam peer-to-peer matchmaking API is a set of functions that enable users to find other users to play a game with.

Matchmaker supports party matchmaking where a group of players can request to be matched together in a game. A matchmaking ticket can contain multiple players.
