Cloud gaming is a process of playing video games in data centers using remote servers. There’s no requirement to download and install games on a console or a PC. Instead, streaming service providers require a stable and smooth internet connection to send gaming information to a browser or an app installed on the recipient’s device. The game is mostly played on the remote server, but one can communicate and watch with everything available locally on their device.

According to Ken Research Analysis, the Global Cloud Gaming Market is expected to witness exponential growth of around 60% CAGR over the next six years (2022-2028) and cross ~US$ 20 Bn revenue by 2028.
