Cloud gaming: Creating new consumer values with 5G connectivity
Cloud gaming is a new way of consuming video games that’s set to grow significantly in coming years. The ultimate goal is to enable people to play any game on any device, anywhere they are. This is possible because the games (hardware and software) are hosted in remote data centers, from where the game is streamed to the player’s device. Cloud gaming can therefore significantly reduce the cost of retail, packaging, delivery of hardware and improve ease of access for gamers. This in turn puts high requirements on connectivity, to ensure great user experience without lag or buffering delays. And as the games become more advanced, introducing new user experiences based on augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), the requirements on connectivity will increase even further.
With consumer advantages such as accessibility and new, rich experiences, cloud gaming provides great business opportunities for service providers, in collaboration with the wider gaming ecosystem. 5G is a key component in taking cloud gaming to market, ensuring scale and best possible user experience.
