Like any time you play any multiplayer game you have the risk of your ip being exposed. There is no ip loggers added into this game also if you are really paranoid about games leaking your ip. Dont play any video games than dumb ass.
Exactly. PlayFab and plenty of other multiplayer services already handle player IP addresses as part of normal networking, moderation, geolocation, bans, etc. That alone doesn't mean someone is going to leak or abuse them.
PlayFab can even use direct P2P networking, where clients necessarily exchange IP addresses, although its relay networking avoids exposing them directly between players.
Obviously actually leaking someone's IP would be shitty and could be a security/privacy concern, but acting like "this uses PlayFab and can access IPs, therefore don't download it" isn't really evidence of anything malicious. I'd be way more concerned about what the game's actual scripts/code are doing than the mere fact that its networking backend processes IP addresses.
