Cloud gaming is far away from being a viable option in competitive gaming. I think people need to remember that Google has started many an ambitious product only to shut it down 12 months to 2 years down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Google and considering the expense of this endeavor, I give it 2 years max before they completely shelf it just as they shelved the Drone project that was supposed to bring internet services to very remote areas of the Earth. Yeah, your point is valid - CEOs nowadays are so out of touch with reality it is alarming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortie Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I believe that one day cloud gaming may be capable enough to handle esports and professional tournaments but at the moment that is still a work in progress for many. I know myself I often find myself playing games on the cloud through Xbox and their cloud gaming service and compared to what it was like a few years ago when they first released it to now, the connection and stability is definitely a lot better than it ever was which shows good progress. It may be some time before we see cloud gaming and esports become a thing but I feel in time we will see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Doubtful. Cloud gaming has struggled for years to keep up. Latency and bandwidth alone make it tough. Add lack of accessibility and you’ve got an issue. UNless they ahve a super system, it's not the way to go forward just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Cloud gaming is only good if you have a good internet connection. I think cloud gaming is terrible right now, but in the future it will be better as our internet speeds continue to increase. Where I live I can't rely on cloud based games, my connection just isn't that good. Just look at Stadia, it's dead now. I'm not sure how well Amazon's service, Luna does.

Debashis Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 True. Cloud gaming may not be ideal for esports due to potential issues with latency, inconsistent internet connections, and the need for high-performance hardware. These factors can impact the competitiveness and fairness of online gaming, making it less suitable for professional esports competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I don't really think that cloud gaming is ready when itcomes to competitive esports. The good reason is that a slightest bit of lag can definitely create a big diffifulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
