What do game developers use to track a players status, and manage (example web development: PHP, SQL)

Question

So for web development, we use PHP and SQL to store users data. Like age, fav color, etc.

Now for big mobile games (Call of Duty Mobile, Fortnite, etc), or desktop app games, what kind of data management do they use?

Is there a language for that like PHP?

Answer 1

The logic is same as web surfing.
(Recall save game at the еnd or bak files to autosave!)

During the game you got 35000 coins, conquered the town, ran 2 miles, shot 8 enemies etc...
the game automatically saves to the data base (no matter sql or no esql no big deal) your achivements. And if you save the game in the end, probably it saved to another table in the same db.
Then when you next time run the game it takes all required info from last line of db to build exactly the same "world" and place and time and situation as in the last time.

Hope it made sense.
Sincerely all of yours,

They use the same thing to store but different in QL or Service
Fortnite use No-Sql and Amazon Web service
