A lot has changed in the few years, and cloud gaming is now a fully realized service, with many different options from which to choose. In cloud gaming, the gaming provider runs the game on its servers and then streams the display back to you. The host app on your machine sends your mouse and keyboard inputs back up to the server on which the game is running.
A few years ago, the technology was in its infancy, with very high latency and major compression holding it back significantly. Instead of paying hundreds for a console or a PC, you can now rent your games similar to watching movies on Netflix.
Microsoft , EA , and even Google are working on their own services, so the market is definitely headed that way. The most important thing holding back cloud gaming is internet speed.
You need a fast, stable internet connection to take advantage of cloud gaming. Having two people playing games at the same time, or having someone else streaming video in the other room, eats into that speed.
If your internet lags, your entire connection will be cut off for a few seconds. While checking your speed, make sure also to take a look at your ping value, which is the amount of time it takes your computer to send a packet out to a server and get a response.
Location to the datacenter the game is running on also contributes to latency. However, with a good connection, most services can get your overall input delay down to just a few frames—usually less than a twelfth of a second. For hardcore gamers, the price can also get out of hand quickly. Since most services, charge by the hour, a 40 hour per week gaming habit can get expensive fast.
But for the average gamer, spending a couple bucks a month to play a few games on the weekend is way cheaper than buying a PC, or even a console. For most people stuck on a laptop, cloud gaming can be an excellent middle ground between not being able to play at all and spending hundreds on a PC. Nvidia has been pouring resources into the development of GeForce NOW , even going so far as offering the service entirely for free despite hefty server costs on their end to drive interest, and most importantly, beta testers, to the platform.
But, for what it does, NOW is the best out there. Granted, you can only play games you actually own on Steam, despite what the main screen would lead you to believe.
This is probably due to their Nvidia GRID technology being very good at virtualization, and keeping the processing latency down on the server. NOW feels very smooth. This will vary from person to person, of course, and it also depends heavily on your location. Amazon Luna is also an option, as it lets players stream a variety of games to PCs and streaming devices for a flat fee.
However, the service is still in early access. It's not available to everyone, and its performance is imperfect. In terms of performance and versatility, Nvidia GeForce Now is about as good as game streaming currently gets. Then, you link the service with your Steam, Uplay or Epic Games library. You install a compatible game on a remote machine, then play it on the platform of your choice. The system has a few potential drawbacks.
Not every PC game is compatible, and while many publishers have added new games to the GeForce Now library, other publishers have taken theirs away. Furthermore, the free tier makes you wait in a queue and limits your play time. PlayStation Now is the only major game streaming service that works on a subscription model, and it works quite well, at that.
