Unlocking New LiveOps Power: Satori Version 2.1 is a Major Upgrade

Since the release of Satori 2.0, we’ve been hard at work enhancing its capabilities to empower game studios with more control, insights, and efficiency in LiveOps. From advanced data management to refined experiment tracking, our latest updates ensure studios can maximize engagement and optimize monetization with ease. Here’s a breakdown of the most valuable features we’ve introduced and what they mean for your game.

Introducing the New Insights Area

Satori 2.1 introduces a brand-new Insights area, providing studios with powerful analytics tools for better decision-making and performance tracking.

New ROAS Dashboard

A dedicated Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) dashboard allows game studios to track ROAS, Cost Per Install (CPI), and Lifetime Value (LTV), all filterable by cohort, campaign, and other key variables. Integrated directly with Adjust, this feature enables precise ad spend optimization.

Explore Metrics Feature

A new analytics section lets users combine and overlay multiple metrics, create new metrics on the fly, drill down into granular data, and apply custom filters. This brings unparalleled flexibility in analyzing game performance.

Improved Retention Dashboard

Satori’s Retention Dashboard has been enhanced with better visualizations and additional filtering options to give deeper insights into player retention trends.

Smarter Data Management & LiveOps Precision

Granular Import/Export for LiveOps Resources

Game studios can now selectively import and export specific resources like Feature Flags, Experiments, Live Events, and Message Schedules. This means greater flexibility when rolling out changes or testing updates in different environments without overwriting the entire dataset.

Databricks Integration with Enhanced Performance

For teams leveraging Databricks for analytics, Satori now supports Apache Parquet for writing data to S3, improving efficiency and reducing concurrency issues. Our event partitioning feature gives you the option to store each event type in its own folder, making it easier to query, manage, and scale event data within your analytics pipelines. This ensures high-performance data handling for large-scale games.

Undo Changes Instantly with Audit Log Revert

Our new Audit Log Revert feature lets you quickly undo changes directly from the audit log, giving you a fast and reliable way to roll back unwanted updates that could impact your live game. Whether it’s a misconfigured flag or an accidental message edit, you’re now just one click away from restoring order.

Greater Experimentation & Feature Flag Control

Improved Experiment Results & Overlapping Experiments

Running multiple experiments in parallel just got easier. Satori now allows experiments that share the same feature flags to overlap, unlocking the ability to test different player cohorts without artificial constraints. Additionally, we’ve revamped the experiment results page, providing clearer insights and faster decision-making.

New API to Fetch Feature Flag Overrides

Studios can now retrieve all feature flags and their respective variants that a client is eligible for with a single API call. This simplifies debugging, testing, and targeted deployments, ensuring players always get the correct feature variations.

Category Labels for Enhanced Organization

Managing Live Events, Experiments, and Feature Flags at scale is now simpler with category labels, making it easier to filter and track related content across different initiatives.

Advanced Player Retention & Engagement Insights

Game Lifetime & Day Lifetime Retention Data

Understanding player behavior is critical, and we’ve added new metrics to the Retention page, including session count, session duration, and playtime duration. These insights help studios fine-tune engagement strategies and identify player drop-off points more effectively.

Improved Timeline Page for Metric Tracking

Satori now allows users to select specific metrics to display on the Timeline page, for clear visibility on how your LiveOps strategy is affecting key metrics over time.

Streamlined Messaging & Live Event Coordination

Direct Messaging to Players

Studios can now send direct messages to individual player identities via the Console API, unlocking new possibilities for personalized engagement, player support, and targeted communication. (v2.0.5)

Live Event & Experiment Scheduling Improvements

Scheduling and overlapping Live Events are now more flexible, allowing multiple events tied to the same Feature Flags to run simultaneously without conflicts. Additionally, message schedules now calculate timing based on Live Event end times for better automation. (v2.0.6, v2.0.3)

New Hiro Workflows & Webhooks

Prebuilt Workflows for Monetization

Satori now includes new Hiro workflows and templates for common monetization strategies, including:

  • Limited Time Offers – Quickly deploy time-sensitive promotional deals.
  • Offer Walls – Implement in-game offer walls seamlessly.

Webhook Support

We’ve added webhook support for all Feature Flag and Flag Variant updates, Live Event starts and ends, as well as scheduled message sends - enabling even deeper automation and integration with your external systems.

Performance & Usability Enhancements

Persistent Search & Filters

To improve workflow efficiency, search queries and filters are now retained across browser tab sessions. This small but impactful update reduces friction when navigating between different views.

More Defaults for Date Pickers & UI Enhancements

Satori now includes more default options in date pickers, reducing repetitive configurations when analyzing trends. Additional UI improvements, such as restructuring Experiment and Live Event details, make navigating the dashboard more intuitive.

Improved Caching & Multi-Node Performance

To ensure smooth operation for high-scale studios, Satori now features improved cache refresh logic across multi-node deployments, leading to faster and more consistent performance.

The Bottom Line: More Power, More Insights, More Control

With every iteration, Satori becomes an even more indispensable tool for game studios looking to maximize LiveOps efficiency. Whether you’re optimizing feature rollouts, running experiments, analyzing retention trends, or managing real-time events, these updates ensure that you stay ahead of the curve.
