Gaming Technology – From Console to Cloud
Cloud gaming has seen rapid expansion over the past several years. Thanks to services like Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud, gamers can connect with friends across the world and play together as though they were in one room.
This technology makes playing video games even easier by eliminating the need for powerful consoles or PCs – players can access video games on smartphones with fast network connectivity instead!
Streaming technology
Gaming technology advancements have brought great benefits to the gaming industry, particularly streaming. This revolutionary way of playing video games allows gamers to experience video gaming without needing an expensive computer or console; and additionally allows them to share their gaming experience with family and friends.
Streaming technology works by sending data in small packets that are then read by an audio or video player on an end user device – giving gamers the experience of watching an in-real-time virtual concert!
Cloud gaming differs from conventional titles in that it doesn’t rely on expensive hardware upgrades to run, enabling gamers to enjoy them from any internet-connected device. Furthermore, this technology can reduce costs associated with hardware upgrades – helping drive growth of the global cloud gaming market. COVID-19 lockdowns have led to permanent shifts in consumer media entertainment habits which will spur strong gaming demand when economies reopen.
Cloud storage
Video gaming has seen major advancements with advances in technology. Cloud storage enables graphics and gameplay enhancement via remote processing, giving players stunning visuals without costly hardware upgrades.
Cloud gaming also allows gamers to access their game library from multiple devices without purchasing physical copies or downloading to local computers. 5G connectivity and large data plans enable gamers to experience high-end gaming without costly hardware upgrades.
Additionally, cloud storage enables gamers to seamlessly synchronize their gaming progress across various platforms. HIVO’s digital asset management solution automatically backs up game progress into the cloud so gamers can resume their games on any device without fear of losing hard-earned progress; providing them with a level of convenience that will encourage them to embrace gaming on the cloud.
Dedicated servers
Games that feature dynamic interactions and real-time physics simulations require powerful dedicated servers to oversee key decisions and player actions, ensuring synchronization, minimizing latency, preventing cheating or exploits and ultimately providing gamers with uninterrupted game play without technical interruptions.
Servers powered by processors designed for gaming (like Intel’s Xeon series) deliver unparalleled speed and performance, as well as robust security features like anti-DDoS protection and 1Gbps bandwidth to provide players with an enjoyable experience regardless of cyber attacks or high usage.
OVHcloud dedicated servers offer top-tier hardware and an exceptional internet connection to eliminate lags and out-of-sync playing, as well as handle high traffic with round-the-clock server monitoring, cooling systems and backup generators providing more stable gaming experiences for multiple players. Furthermore, dedicated servers give players more control over how many rounds there will be and which maps and weapons are used as well as what constitutes a win – offering unparalleled customization possibilities!
5G
As games evolve, the need for high-speed, low-latency connectivity increases as well. Where prior network generations limited immersive gaming experiences, 5G allows gamers to experience console-quality gameplay anywhere.
5G provides fast data speeds and low latency that allow gamers to stream graphics-intensive games directly from the cloud without depending on powerful local hardware, enabling them to play across a range of devices like PCs, tablets and mobile phones.
5G technology also offers more bandwidth for game streaming than 4G and can reduce the number of titles requiring special hardware, opening up opportunities for gaming-as-a-service (GaaS) providers.
Sprint and Hatch Entertainment recently formed a partnership to offer unlimited mobile cloud gaming on its 5G network, enabling gamers to enjoy over 100 premium titles for free using the Hatch app – an effective way of demonstrating its benefits to gamers while simultaneously promoting GaaS services.
