# In-Memory Variable Storage

The In-Memory Variable Storage component is a Variable Storage component that stores all variables in memory. These variables are erased when the game stops.

{% hint style="info" %}
The In-Memory Variable Storage component is intended to be a useful tool for getting started, and to be replaced with a custom variable storage that meets your game's needs.

However, if your game has no need to save and restore game state, then this class can be used in your final game, too.
{% endhint %}
