What is driving gamer adoption in 2021?
The advent of Cloud gaming will shape new possibilities of how games are played, expose the opportunities and obstacles presented by 5G, and give runway to a host of innovative network technologies to improve the Cloud gaming experience and encourage mainstream adoption. In the first Performance Matters event (Feb 2021), we explore gamer expectations, technical barriers and the commercials that are driving adoption of these gaming platforms.
What will it take to win the hearts and minds of these cloud gamers?
The gaming industry is set to follow the evolution of the music and movie industries, with a rapid movement towards an unlimited streaming model. Cloud gaming, enabled by technologies such as 5G and enhanced fixed broadband, is being positioned to create a convenient way for gamers to play anywhere and anytime.
What We'll Cover During This Webinar
Delivering a smooth gaming experience is key for cloud gaming to be successful, but one key challenge that stands in the way is fragmentation in the ecosystem. But with Cloud Gaming, there are many variables since gamers now have the flexibility to play across PC or mobile, Wifi or LAN, 4G or 5G and sometimes under bad network conditions too.
