Forget expensive hardware. Forget long download times. Cloud gaming is rewriting the rules of online play, and the future it promises — instant access to the world’s best games on any device — is already here.

What Is Cloud Gaming?

Cloud gaming streams games directly to your device from powerful remote servers. The processing happens in the cloud, not on your local machine. The result? You can play high-end, graphically intensive games on almost any device — including older PCs, smartphones, and smart TVs — without investing in expensive gaming hardware.
