How would it be if you can just access AAA games on your smartphone without having to download anything? Convenient, ha? And also very economical. Well, it’s still a dream till big publishers start making their cloud platforms accessible here in India. We’re looking at you Microsoft and Sony! Nevertheless, 5G Cloud Gaming is inevitable and during our trip to the Indian Mobile Congress 2022, Vi showed us a glimpse of the future.
The telecommunication giant partnered with CareGame, a Paris-based gaming technology company, to demonstrate how you can enjoy immersive gaming anywhere at any time and all you need is a 5G connection. The brand claimed that it was for the first time that Indian consumers experienced 5G mobile cloud gaming in India.
Mobile gaming enthusiasts will be able to access and play games over a live-streamed link (with 5G’s low latency and high speed), all they would need is Android 10 and above and a reliable internet connection. High-end games will be hosted and run on powerful servers and users can get access to the interactive video stream via 5G.
Service providers promise extremely high speed and end-to-end latency rates of about 10-15ms. So your real-time control inputs can be recorded and processed as good as an actual controller maybe. CareGame, on the other hand, is not offering any triple-A titles at the moment and some of the games are mobile games which makes the proposition lacklustre but maybe this is a sign for PlayStation and Xbox to start stepping up. Fingers crossed.
