New player sessions can be created in any game session with an open slot that is in ACTIVE status and has a player creation policy of ACCEPT_ALL. You can add a group of players to a game session with CreatePlayerSessions .
To create a player session, specify a game session ID, player ID, and optionally a set of player data.
If successful, a slot is reserved in the game session for the player and a new PlayerSessions object is returned with a player session ID. The player references the player session ID when sending a connection request to the game session, and the game server can use it to validate the player reservation with the Amazon GameLift service. Player sessions cannot be updated.
The maximum number of players per game session is 200. It is not adjustable.

COMPLETED -- The player connection has been dropped.
TIMEDOUT -- A player session request was received, but the player did not connect and/or was not validated within the timeout limit (60 seconds).
The DNS identifier assigned to the instance that is running the game session. Values have the following format:
TLS-enabled fleets: <unique identifier>.<region identifier>.amazongamelift.com.
Non-TLS-enabled fleets: ec2-<unique identifier>.compute.amazonaws.com. (See Amazon EC2 Instance IP Addressing.)
When connecting to a game session that is running on a TLS-enabled fleet, you must use the DNS name, not the IP address.

Player sessions are created either for a specific game session, or as part of a game session placement or matchmaking request. A player session can represents a reserved player slot in a game session (when status is RESERVED) or actual player activity in a game session (when status is ACTIVE). A player session object, including player data, is automatically passed to a game session when the player connects to the game session and is validated. After the game session ends, player sessions information is retained for 30 days and then removed.
