# Enable PlayFab Multiplayer Server feature

> Enable the PlayFab Multiplayer Servers feature on a game title using Game Manager or the API and PowerShell, including payment method and quota prerequisites.

PlayFab Multiplayer Server isn't automatically enabled when you sign up for a PlayFab account. In order to use and view the servers, you need to enable the feature from Game Manager or use API/PowerShell.

You have to enable the feature using Game Manager if you don't yet have a payment method on the account.

Certain servers have limited free usage and capacity limits. They can be used during evaluation and development. If you're enrolled in paid pricing plans, you may request for additional server cores. To learn more, see [Managing Server cores quota](/services/playfab/multiplayer/servers/quota-changes).

## Enable using Game Manager

1. Log into your developer account on [PlayFab.com](https://developer.playfab.com)
2. Go to **My Studios and Titles** page and select your game title to display the dashboard. If you haven't created one, you have to create a new title.
3. Go to **Multiplayer** > **Servers** page
4. Select **Enable**

In order to complete the process, you need to have a payment form associated with the account. Follow the instructions on screen to add this information.
