Cloud gaming plays a crucial role in gaming democratization – everyone can play any game on any device
Our CEO has recently talked to Cybernews about cloud gaming, business and technology behind it and where the market is heading.
Where do you see cloud gaming and the general gaming industry evolving in the future? What potential advancements or innovations do you envision in this field?
By the early 2030s, around 90% of gamers will opt for the cloud. What’s happening now with games is what has already happened to video and audio. Cloud gaming plays a crucial role in the democratization of gaming – everyone can play any game on any device. This brings games far beyond their core audience and attracts millions of casual players or even non-gamers.
In addition, cloud gaming will contribute to the development and adoption of interactive video content. Such as movies that’re partially rendered on gaming engines, like Unreal Engine 5. Today most of the VoD/OTT providers simply do not have the hardware infrastructure capable of real-time interactive video streaming. Boosteroid already operates the infrastructure and GPU-based servers. It also can ensure ultra-low latency interactive online video streaming.
It’s interesting to hear about the cybersecurity aspects of cloud gaming. How does cloud gaming help address security concerns such as pirating and unauthorized access? What are the measures you have in place to ensure the protection of video games?
Effectively, Boosteroid is like a computer, where the only thing you can do is to launch a game via a digital distribution platform. One that’s provided for you to follow all rules applicable to the launch of the game. When the game is running via Boosteroid, it’s not possible to get unauthorized access to the game or its files.
One can’t reverse engineer it, get source code, interfere with game files, launch DRM-free versions, or launch a game without logging in to a game account or a digital distribution platform account, etc… Gamers have no access to the system files, as the virtual machine they run their game on is always protected. Even if it’s hacked, it simply shuts down right away.
