In the past 2 to 3 years, India has seen exponential growth in Mobile Gaming. If we talk of stats, in the year 2021, there are more than 350 million players in India playing on Mobile. Indians prefer to use mobile for playing games instead of a computer or console. Obviously, games like PUBG and Free Fire have made a significant contribution to the growth of the Indian gaming industry. Now, when it comes to GTA 5 or any other popular PC game that can’t be downloaded on smartphones like PUBG, cloud gaming comes into the picture.

What is Cloud Gaming?

Cloud Gaming is a useful technology that allows users to play games on remote servers without downloading them. User is not required to upgrade his/her hardware like Graphic Card, RAM, ROM and processor to play games on Cloud. With Cloud Gaming anyone, literally, anyone even one with a low-end device can play high-end games. If we look towards the mechanism behind it, Cloud gaming is somewhat very similar to online streaming of a video stored on a remote server or computer. But Cloud gaming requires a very high-speed internet connection to emulate the game better on the user’s device. And also, most cloud gaming services are not available in India, so for using them a good and stable VPN is a must.
