Cloud Gaming & The Best Android Cloud Emulator Platforms

The game industry has developed rapidly. In order to let players have a better game experience, cloud games have emerged. Cloud games get rid of the dependence on hardware. For servers, it is only necessary to improve the server performance without developing new hosts; For users, they can get higher picture quality without buying high-performance computers.

The Concept of Cloud Games

Cloud games are based on cloud computing. Under the cloud game operation mode, all games run on the server side, and the rendered game images are compressed and transmitted to users through the network. On the client side, users’ game devices do not need any high-end processors and graphics cards, but only basic video decompression capabilities.

Cloud computing is an internet-based computing method, through which shared hardware and software resources and information can be provided to computers and other devices on demand. The network that provides resources is called the “cloud”.

Development of Cloud Game Industry

With the rise of smart home, the strong return of living room entertainment, and the gradual loosening of game policies, domestic game manufacturers have made efforts to play large screen games on TV, seeking to take home entertainment as a breakthrough. Cloud games break the limit of game hardware, and game players can get 3A game experience at low cost. At the same time, the home environment and network are stable, and the large screen visual experience is better, which is suitable for cloud game experience.

Cloud games can be used across terminals. Large screens, mobile phones, VR, etc. can experience cloud games, which also brings a huge market for game consoles. All platforms have launched game control handles that are suitable for mobile phones, optimizing users’ experience of using virtual keyboards on touch screens. Game consoles can bring users a good cloud game experience, and provide game consoles with low latency, high stability, and good sense of control. They are almost a must for cloud game platforms.

Many game manufacturers and Internet giants continue to increase their investment in the cloud game industry, which will enhance the social and user’s attention and awareness of cloud games. At the same time, the major cloud game platforms attract user experience in the early stage of the F2P model, which will enhance the game players’ experience of cloud games and transform game users into cloud game users.

On the whole, the growth of the revenue scale and user scale of the game market has gradually slowed down, while cloud games are expected to continue to bring game user growth and expand the size of the game market. In the future, the penetration rate of cloud game revenue scale and user scale in the overall market will gradually increase. It is estimated that the proportion of cloud game market scale will reach 3.9% and the proportion of cloud game user scale will reach 23.6% in 2024.
