# Notifications

Notifications serve as a shared system that integrates seamlessly with multiple features, including Rewards, Leaderboards, Catalogs, Progressions, and Triggers. Acting as a central hub, Notifications track and communicate important player-related updates to the game, ensuring players stay informed about significant events and changes.

The system operates as a queue, where messages are stored until the game acknowledges them (marks them as read). This approach guarantees that no important information is missed, even if a player is offline when a notification is generated. Games can periodically check for new notifications and decide how and when to display them based on the player experience design.

Unlike mobile push notifications that push messages directly to a player's device, LootLocker's Notifications are delivered to the game. This gives developers full control over how and when to present information to the player.
