streaming tech

Cloud gaming is a model where the game runs on remote servers and streams video to a player’s device, while the player sends input back over the internet. The result is a console‑like experience on a laptop, phone, or smart TV without the need for a powerful local GPU.

How It Works Under the Hood

When you launch a title, the cloud provider pulls the game from its data center, encodes the frames in real time, and sends them via a low‑latency connection. Your device decodes the stream and displays the image, while your taps, clicks, or joystick movements travel back to the server. The entire loop must stay below 50 ms to feel responsive; otherwise, the game feels laggy.

Key players in the infrastructure space include Nvidia’s GeForce Now, Google Stadia’s predecessor, and Microsoft’s xCloud. Each offers a library of titles that can be played on a wide range of hardware, from a 2015 iPad to a 4K TV.
