# Project PlayWave

> PC cafe game benefits platform — Integration documentation for game studios

PlayWave is a B2B platform that automatically handles PC cafe authentication, billing, and benefit delivery when users launch games at PC cafes.

Game studios can integrate PlayWave to provide PC cafe benefits to users without building their own infrastructure. PlayWave handles play-time based billing and monthly settlements.
