System-level multiplayer matchmaking

A method for providing system-level multiuser matchmaking, the method comprising:

• receiving a user selection of a selected multiuser activity of an interactive content title from a user device of a user, wherein the user device is external to currently active multiuser sessions associated with the multiuser activity, each active multiuser session having session requirements;
• retrieving a user profile associated with the user, the user profile including data regarding the user, the user device, and one or more peripherals of the user device;
• matching the user device to an identified active multiuser session of the currently active multiuser sessions based on a match between the session requirements of the identified active multiuser session and the user profile;
• and
• adding the user device to the identified active multiuser session.

A system for system-level multiuser matchmaking, the system comprising:

• memory that stores interactive content titles and one or more activity templates associated with each interactive content title;
• a network interface that establishes a session with a user device associated with a user over a communication network;
• and
• one or more processors that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the one or more processors:
• receives a user selection from the user device wherein the user selection specifies a selected multiuser activity associated with an interactive content title, wherein the user device is external to currently active multiuser sessions associated with the selected multiuser activity;
• retrieves an activity template stored in the memory associated with the selected multiuser activity, the activity template providing activity requirements required to launch the selected multiuser activity;
• establishes a new multiuser session having session requirements that are based on at least the activity requirements provided by the activity template;
• adds the user device and at least one identified peer device to the new multiuser session, wherein the at least one identified peer device is associated with at least one peer identified based on the session requirements;
• and
• launches the interactive content title at a starting point of the selected multiuser activity in the new multiuser session that has been established for the user device and the at least one identified peer device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for providing system-level multiuser matchmaking, the method comprising:

• receiving a user selection from a user device of a user, wherein the user selection specifies a selected multiuser activity associated with an interactive content title, wherein the user device is external to currently active multiuser sessions associated with the selected multiuser activity;
• retrieving an activity template associated with the selected multiuser activity, the activity template providing activity requirements required to launch the selected multiuser activity;
• establishing a new multiuser session having session requirements that are based on at least the activity requirements provided by the activity template;
• adding the user device and at least one identified peer device to the new multiuser session, wherein the at least one identified peer device is associated with at least one peer identified based on the session requirements;
• and
• launching the interactive content title at a starting point of the selected multiuser activity in the new multiuser session that has been established for the user device and the at least one identified peer device.
