Is it possible to create a UDP and TCP (both) Load Balancer in GCP?

Question

I am currently running a game server in a GCE instance. The protocols used are TCP and UDP, and I would need a LB that takes both protocols into account. At the beggining I created a TCP LB, but obviously I had issues with UDP connections.

I have been checking the official documentation but no good news so far.

I would appreciate if any of you have had a similar case, or any recommendation in order to deal with it in case you think this would not be a correct solution for my use case.

Thanks!

Google Cloud supports External TCP/UDP Load Balancing referred to as Network Load Balancing. It is a regional pass-through load balancer that distributes external traffic among Virtual Machine instances only in the same region.

Also, please refer to this document to know more about GCP's various Load Balancer offerings and their features to see how they fit with your use case.
