Cloud gaming, also known as game streaming, is a technology that allows players to play video games over the internet without the need for dedicated local hardware. Instead of running games on a console or a high-performance PC, cloud gaming streams the game from remote servers where the game is hosted and processed. Players interact with the game via a device, such as a computer, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV, while the game’s visuals and audio are transmitted back to them.
This approach eliminates the need for powerful local devices, as the heavy processing is done in data centers. The main advantage of cloud gaming is accessibility; players can enjoy high-quality games on less powerful hardware as long as they have a stable internet connection. Cloud gaming services typically provide a subscription model or allow for pay-per-play access, offering a wide library of games to choose from without the need for physical media or downloads. However, it also requires a consistent and fast internet connection to minimize latency and interruptions during gameplay.
