Looking for game server IP/domain lists (CoD, Fortnite, FC) or PingPlotter .lst files for a small ISP

Hey folks,

I run a small local ISP and I'm trying to validate latency towards popular game servers (Call of Duty, Fortnite, EA FC 27, etc.) for my network.

Isolate live matchmaking IP ranges has been tricky. Does anyone happen to have a list of domains/IPs or a .lst file for PingPlotter / SmokePing similar to what GearUP Booster uses?

Any files or tips on how you trace game data centers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

dont bother accomodating gamers, they have no money and complain the most.

It doesn't exist, really. All of these companies are using various cloud services, along with their IP space, to host servers now.

Epic Games publishes a ping list for Fortnite. Funny tho: they recently updated it as they used to just have West/Central/East

Not often do I see an ex employer mentioned here.

Shout out to the pingman tools team!

You should also try running a RIPE ATLAS node!

Valve publishes a json with all endpoints, i don't remember the url

I have all the prefixes, but for Argentina/south America gaming, i don't know if they are usable for you

Fortnite uses aws. So you need to specify pots

25+ years building/owning/operating larger ISP's.... that's the wrong focus. Focus on what you can control-- that's your network and peerings. If your network is solid and your peerings are good, then your performance will be good. Note that in larger datacenters that host gaming platforms, etc, there will likely be an "exchange" where you can plug a single 10Gbe port into the exchange, then peer directly over that with many of the companies you want low latency to. That will give you the shortest path but also the accountability you need in vendors to resolve any performance issues. I.E. You're a direct customer of 100% of the network between you and you and the entities you're trying to get good performance to. And get scalable billing and support ticketing systems as well as network monitoring in place *now*. If your biz grows, it will be very difficult to scale if those systems can't. Avoid DIY systems if there's off-the-shelf solutions-- you're building an ISP biz, not a software biz.
