Cloud Gaming Market and Top Solutions
- Video Streaming − This solution renders all graphics, compresses resulting videos and streams them to clients in the cloud on remote CPUs/GPUs. The video is streamed to the user and decoded locally. This approach demands more bandwidth and processing time but can utilize higher-powered GPUs than local devices. Both cloud gaming and live media streaming involve the compression of the incoming video and its distribution to end users. In both cases, the user has access to a small set of most recent video frames without having any access to future frames prior to their production.
- File Streaming − File streaming is an approach that enables the downloading of game content in the form of bits. The actual game is carried out on the user’s gaming device. A small part of the game, less than 5% of the total game size, is downloaded initially so that gamers can start playing. The rest of the game content is downloaded while playing. This solution uses advanced mechanisms of progressive downloading, data compression, and prediction algorithms to provide steady motions and smooth visuals.
Cloud Gaming Market and Top Devices
- Gaming Consoles –Gaming consoles are expected to hold a major share in the cloud gaming market owing to the extensive and robust distribution network of major players such as Sony and Microsoft. These players are primarily employing their cloud gaming platforms to generate recurring revenue streams through their existing gaming users. The launch of cloud gaming platforms has rendered console manufacturers with a favorable opportunity to monetize on their existing library of gaming content and augment their product capabilities.
- Smartphones − Owing to massive data centers connected to phones and devices via the internet, most of the next-generation smartphones have the capacity to run cloud gaming, giving users easy access to games. As users crave for an instant, on-demand gameplay, cloud gaming is expected to witness progression in the gaming industry. The advent of cloud gaming has provided smartphone manufacturers with lucrative opportunities to further enhance their product capabilities and generate new revenue streams through subscription fees. This is encouraging telecom players to partner with platform providers to integrate the cloud gaming functionality into their offerings.
- Tablets − Graphics-intensive games need fairly large computing and electrical power capabilities. Games with good graphics require the best available central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) for a better quality of experience (QoE). As graphic process units (GPUs) are becoming standard modules on portable devices such as tablets, users continue to enjoy the bene?t of download-free gaming services. Owing to better computing power capabilities, tablets offer enhanced gaming experience than other devices.
- Personal Computers & Laptops − A standard home PC or laptop might be the best choice for many gamers to explore cloud gaming. The idea of playing games that would require a high-powered, expensive gaming PC on any device seems quite appealing to players. Mac owners can particularly rejoice that they do not require a dual boot solution to try the full spectrum of games. With services such as Google’s Project Stream, users need a browser tab, while others (GeForce Now) require a separate program.
- Smart TV − A dedicated device that can process locally at the user location offers a more stable experience to gamers than relying solely on the cloud. This solution is best for such class of gamers who prioritize gameplay over mobility, as this would limit the users to play within a range of their access points. Therefore, Smart TVs could be a suitable choice for such a class of gamers.
- Head-mounted Displays − In head-mounted displays, cloud gaming services employ GPU-as-a-service, which enables hundreds of graphically intense games to run concurrently at higher frame rates while reducing latency. AR/VR devices are rapidly evolving in the gaming landscape to shape gaming experiences. These technologies are rapidly being adopted in the gaming landscape to experience immersive gaming experiences across various access devices such as smart glasses, headsets, and others. They are highly latency-sensitive devices, which demand immense computational power.
