Examining the state of Microsoft's big bet for the future: Xbox Game Pass Cloud Gaming (otherwise known as xCloud). Here are our thoughts on the current iteration of the service, and where it could go in the future.
Jezby Ventures' Octave Klaba has now acquired Blade. That means it also controls Shadow, the service that lets you rent a PC via a remote server, allowing you to use it via your phone, tablet, or weaker PC, all via the cloud.
Xbox Cloud Gaming for Windows 10 PCs and Apple devices will enter its limited beta stage on April 20. Invites will be sent to select Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members.
NVIDIA announced 12 new titles that will be added to the GeForce Now library this week. Among the new titles are Spacebase Startopia and Overcooked!
NVIDIA's latest GeForce Now update is a fairly packed one. Not only are we getting another 11 games joining the roster, like South Park: The Stick of Truth and Assassin's Creed, but the raft of awesome indie games already there are being highlighted. And there's no bigger indie game right now than Valheim.
NVIDIA GeForce Now brings high-quality PC gaming to any PC using the power of the cloud. While you don't need to spend time running benchmarks and adjusting many different graphics settings to get the best performance on your system, there are some things you can do that will help you get the best experience.
Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming, also known as xCloud, now has 22 games with touch controls. The touch-specific controls make it easier to game on the go, especially on devices with smaller screens.
A new post on Xbox Wire confirms prior reports: Xbox Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass is coming to PC and iOS in Spring 2021. Additionally, the service will expand to new countries such as Australia and Mexico.
AMD and Oxide Games plan to create a set of tools for cloud rendering. The companies announced a partnership today to improve cloud gaming.
Stuck at home for a while? You're not alone, and apparently gamers everywhere have been using it at a good excuse to check out cloud gaming services from companies like Shadow, as a 50% increase in cloud gaming traffic in March shows.
Samsung's short-lived experimental PC-to-phone gaming streaming service, PlayGalaxy, will be calling it quits in just over a week. Replacing it is the new partnership with Microsoft's Xbox xCloud.
Shadow is expanding its reach throughout the US with support in 10 additional states, as well as a new 3-tier pricing plan. Even more exciting is the possibility to play full PC VR games through Shadow's VR Exploration program on the Oculus Quest.
Cloud gaming is supposed to be about simplicity, but the cold reality is that licensing agreements are muddying up the waters and making things overly difficult for consumers and developers alike.
Game Director for The Long Dark, Raphael van Lierop, took to Twitter to announce that the game will no longer be offered on NVIDIA's GeForce Now cloud gaming service. That marks the latest in a series of games pulled from NVIDIA's recently-launched cloud gaming service.
It seems like every single company out there wants a piece of cloud gaming. We already know about Shadow, but Amazon, Bethesda, Google, and Microsoft appear to be developing their own technologies. EA doesn't want to be left behind and just announced a test for its game streaming service.
The Xbox One you bought might be the last console you ever need to buy. At least if Microsoft's new cloud gaming solution leaves the research labs sooner rather than later. Microsoft Research has just published their work on DeLorean – a speculative execution system for mobile cloud gaming. Cloud gaming has the potential to make your console (and gaming PC) obsolete. The biggest...
We’ve just reviewed Airport City, the latest Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 release from international publisher Game Insight. Observant readers will notice a pattern with Game Insight’s mobile Windows releases: three out of their four games are pure city builders. The fourth game Rule the Kingdom is sort of a city builder/RPG hybrid. Clearly city building is Game Insight’s specialty –...
Six-Guns is one of the largest scale Xbox games for Windows Phone 8 thanks to its open world setting and vast assortment of missions to complete. Despite some overbearing In-App Purchases and an undercooked multiplayer mode, Gameloft’s western-themed game has legions of fans. Shortly before Six-Guns’ arrival on Windows Phone 8, Gameloft also announced a version for Windows 8 and RT. We...
This week, the massive open world Grand Theft Auto 5 launched on consoles. Sadly, Rockstar has yet to port any of its excellent mobile Grand Theft Auto titles to Windows Phone. But thanks to Gameloft, we do have one open world game on Windows Phone 8: Six-Guns. Of course, Six-Guns takes its inspiration from the Wild West-themed Read Dead Redemption, but it’s still the closest thing to...
Gameloft’s latest Xbox Windows Phone release Six-Guns is a free to play game. Of course it must be monetized somehow – in this case via In-App Purchases (IAPs). Six-Guns actually offers a wider variety of things to buy than many free games, which can be confusing (or off-putting) to new players. We’ve spent ample time with the game as we prepare for our upcoming review. And we’ve also...
