Metrics

mod.io Metrics is a detailed analytics system that provides insights on your UGC community on each platform. These insights include:

• How many times UGC has been downloaded, on what platforms and in which countries
• When your players are most active
• How many creators you have in your community, and when they joined
• What are the trending UGC and creators in the last month
• How many reports have been raised against UGC, and whether these reports are valid

In addition, our Playtime Metrics premium feature will give you insights into how long players are playing UGC and how frequently, letting you answer questions such as how UGC contributes to player retention and game longevity.

Setting up metrics

You do not need to do anything to set up standard metrics covering UGC, User Activity and Health. These metrics are a free, standard feature of any mod.io integration. However, you will get more accurate metrics if you require players to be authenticated with mod.io, as some metrics measure authenticated players only.

Creator metrics

UGC creators in your game receive access to metrics relevant to their content only, including the number of downloads of their UGC as well as the number of players browsing their UGC in the in-game browser. Creators do not receive game-level data, or data about any other person’s UGC.
