The future of gaming is in the cloud - with AR/VR and streaming games providing the ultimate gaming experience at scale. However, to deliver the same rich experience as console-based play, gaming and esports companies will need the edge. Because, nothing kills the vibe as quickly as a game that lags, jitters, and buffers - as cloud-hosted multi-player games tend to do.
Gamers play for longer when they enjoy a rich quality of play and are able to use real-time dashboards to dynamically adjust critical elements of the gameplay. Anything less engaging and it's game over.
Real-time data and analytics powered by ultra-low latency edge data and computing gives game studios the ability to supercharge engagement and keep the players hooked while also creating more monetization opportunities.
