Short answer

LiveOps, short for live operations, is the ongoing management of a game or app after launch through time-limited events, offers, content drops and challenges delivered without requiring new app releases. It keeps players engaged, supports retention and drives monetization. Teams typically run it using remote configuration, analytics and segmentation to tailor events.
