Cloud Gaming - Is this the Future?

Cloud Gaming is really the new thing in the gaming industry and seeing how we can actually play games simply via the internet without any essential hardware is simply amazing. To give you a brief idea about Cloud Gaming, let’s just say we have a high-end computer somewhere and you are controlling it and seeing the output on your screen, now the screen can be a Television screen, a monitor or even a Smartphone. What do you need? A stable and high-speed (preferably unlimited) Internet Connection

Google Stadia recommends 10 Mbps download speed for 720p streaming.

A subscription to any Cloud Gaming Platform

Advantages of Cloud Gaming Less hardware

Having less hardware also means a lot of space saved, almost no cables and a clean look to your setup.

Disadvantages of Cloud Gaming As of now, most of the premium cloud gaming services aren’t available in India. We will have to wait and find out how they are priced once they launch in India. Latency

Lack of optimization Most cloud gaming services as of today are actually struggling to put up their show in the market, due to a variety of issues the users are facing, like publishers backing off from their titles, people having to buy the games separately for the service (in case of Stadia), server issues and a lot more. This also includes all those issues which generally come with cloud computing. Availability in India
