Cloud gaming explained

Cloud gaming lets you play video games without needing to download them or own a powerful console. Instead, the game runs on remote servers, and the video stream is sent to your device, much like watching a film on Netflix. This means you can play high-end games on less powerful devices, like a phone or a basic laptop.
