Hello MIUI'ers,
Gaming apps are one of the most popular category of mobile applications worldwide, and they are often the most profitable ones as well. Smartphone gaming is becoming a serious business, as evidenced by the recent trend of smartphone manufacturers making devices dedicated to gaming. Furthermore, the world of mobile gaming is about to become extremely exciting with the help of streaming services that will bring the best titles on the market to all devices, including smartphones.
In E3 2018 we saw, a trend is solidifying that will change gaming forever. Smartphones may be growing more powerful every year, but almost all the companies in the video game industry agree that the future of gaming is in the cloud. What do you think?
“Cloud gaming” has been a tech buzzword for years. The idea is that we’ll no longer need gaming PCs or consoles with powerful graphics hardware. All the heavy lifting will be done “in the cloud.” It remains an opportune model for the future of the industry. Cloud gaming has much in common with streaming videos. Essentially, the cloud-gaming server runs a game and streams a video of the gameplay to you. There are various advantages of cloud gaming. You won’t need to invest in expensive hardware. Gone will be the days when you are yanking on your parents’ shirt to buy a new upgrade or expensive console.
Television manufacturers could integrate support for cloud-gaming services into their smart TVs as well. The TV wouldn’t need any powerful, expensive gaming hardware — any TV with the correct software and a controller could work for gaming without any additional boxes required. Some games may require a download of 10GB, 20GB, or even more before you can play them. Cloud gaming would allow you to start playing games instantly, as the server already has the game installed and can start playing it immediately. If games ran on remote servers instead of your own computer, they’d be almost impossible to pirate. This makes cloud gaming an attractive form of DRM to publishers, if not to gamers.
However, there are some significant downsides to cloud gaming compressed video quality issues, and the usage of large amount of bandwidth. It’s impossible to predict the future. Cloud gaming won’t kill local gaming any time soon — but it may offer an alternative in certain situations.
This will mean not only being able to play high-quality games with low-quality hardware (for example, with a laptop or an old PC), but it also means top quality console games are coming to mobile platforms like smartphones and tablets. It will be possible to access our favorite games through the cloud by paying a subscription, just like we already do with music and video on Spotify and Netflix.
Will Cloud Gaming Change the Video Game World Forever?
