Cloud gaming explained — what it is and how it works
Cloud gaming is like Netflix for games — the games run on computers far away and you see and control them on your phone, tablet, or TV through the internet. No expensive console needed. You just need good internet and a subscription.
Instead of buying a console and installing games on it, cloud gaming runs the games on powerful computers far away in data centers. You see the game on your screen and control it with a controller, just like playing at home. It's simpler and cheaper because you don't have to buy expensive hardware.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting cloud gaming to feel exactly like playing on a console — there's always a tiny bit of delay because the signal travels over the internet

Signs you need professional help
