Time Crunch: Bunch Launched Chat Fast to Build a Multiplayer Gaming App

Bunch, a multiplayer video chat gaming app, sought a third-party solution for its asynchronous chat needs and selected the Stream React Native Chat SDK and UI kit due to its rapid implementation, polished UI, and flexible pricing. This integration allowed Bunch to prototype and launch chat functionality swiftly, supporting its growing user base without heavy maintenance. Stream's in-app messaging significantly increased user retention and engagement by keeping communications within the app, while Bunch developers could concentrate on creating a new spatial experience, Bunch 2.0, using Unity. This upcoming version aims to integrate chat into a 3D environment, further enhancing user interaction and community building.
