It seems all major gaming platforms are missing from your marketplace for social connections, such as Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, Epic Games etc.
Billions of gamers are there, and easy connections provided by Auth0 may potentially unleash a huge market.
For example, Epic Games Store provided SSO options with all major gaming platforms.
Thank you for requesting that! Let’s see who else from community will advocate for that as well!

Any news? This is a long time and still nothing came. Maybe this is the time to do it? Gaming dev expand very quickly right now and other providers start adding gaming socials to their portfolio
That’s a solid point gamers already live on those platforms, so SSO there would lower friction a lot. It’s probably more about partnerships and security reviews than tech. But yeah, the demand definitely seems real.
Thank you for bringing this up that’s actually a very insightful observation.
You’re absolutely right that platforms like Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Epic Games represent an enormous and highly engaged user base. From a social connection and identity perspective, they could unlock significant value, especially considering how comfortable gamers already are with cross-platform accounts and SSO experiences.
That said, there are a few practical considerations behind why these providers aren’t commonly available in marketplaces like Auth0’s:
Official OAuth / OpenID support
Not all gaming platforms provide public, developer-friendly OAuth/OpenID flows for third-party authentication. Some APIs are limited to game integrations rather than general-purpose identity federation.
Partnership and compliance requirements
Platforms such as Xbox and PlayStation often require formal partnership agreements, additional review processes, or platform-specific approval before allowing authentication integrations.
Use-case alignment
Many identity marketplaces prioritize providers used for productivity, social networking, or commerce (Google, Apple, GitHub, etc.). Gaming identities, while massive in scale, are often more ecosystem-bound.
Your example of Epic Games offering SSO with major gaming platforms is a good demonstration that the technical capability exists when partnerships and business alignment are in place. It shows that cross-platform identity in gaming is viable and user-friendly when supported at the ecosystem level.
From a market opportunity standpoint, I agree — enabling authentication via major gaming platforms could tap into a huge demographic and reduce friction for gaming-related or community-driven applications.
It would definitely be interesting to see whether demand signals like this could influence roadmap decisions in the future.
Thanks again for raising the idea it’s a thoughtful suggestion.
