# Restart Universe Servers

`POST /cloud/v2/universes/{universe_id}:restartServers`

Restarts active servers for a specific universe. Defaults to only
restarting servers running older versions, but can be configured to restart
all servers regardless of version. Used for releasing experience updates.

## Path parameters

- `universe_id` string, required

## Request body

- RestartUniverseServersRequest — Restarts all of the universe's servers.
  - `placeIds` integer[] — The place IDs to update. If none are specified, all active places in the universe will be updated.
  - `closeAllVersions` boolean — If true, players from servers running both old and new place versions will be restarted. If false, restarts all active servers for a specific universe if and only if a new version of the experience has been published.
  - `bleedOffServers` boolean — If true, matchmaking to servers will stop, but servers will stay up for bleed_off_duration_minutes before shutting down. This setting gives players time to naturally migrate to the newer version. If false, servers will immediately start shutting down.
  - `bleedOffDurationMinutes` integer — If bleed_off_servers is true, how long (in minutes) old servers are allowed to stay up before shutting them down. Valid values: 1-60 minutes.

## Response `200`

OK

- RestartUniverseServersResponse — Empty response. May later contain a status.
