The Future of Cloud Gaming in 2020!

With all the advancements in high-speed internet plus 4K and beyond graphics one of the hottest ticket items in digital streaming is the field of Cloud Gaming. What Cloud Gaming aims to do is to remove the reliance on devices like gaming consoles and the need for discs and other physical support products.

Once again, the online gambling community has been a trailblazer with the ability to login into a web-based casino account and stream your favourite slots, table games and live casino games being something we’ve enjoyed for years.

✓Are There Benefits For Gambling in 2020?

What we currently experience as streaming games is very limited in what it has to offer with Live Casino developers like Evolution Gaming really living on the bleeding edge of the service. However, with world leaders like Facebook and Google investing in this form of high-volume data streaming the advantages for online gambling could be amazing.

Their investments will lead to the development of better software and server-side hardware to compress and share massive data files in 2020, internet services and prices will have to adjust and improve in order to meet the increased demand,  and finally the idea of streaming your gaming will become as mainstream as streaming your favourite movies and series is now thanks to Netflix.

All of these improved services and mainstream acceptance will improve daily access to online gambling, bring down costs and perhaps lead to more innovation in online casino games. Before mobile development, the idea of playing casino games on your phone was thought to be crazy. Who knows what new gambling options could arise from this?

✓Social Platforms Invest Heavily In New Tech

Seeing one big technology company invest in new technology doesn’t mean much, after all, they’re known to test products and then discard them. However, with Googles launch of their streaming service Stadia, and Facebooks acquisition of Spanish Cloud Gaming start-up PlayGiga, this appears to be more than test and see development area.

While Google are tight-lipped about the amount they spent on developing Stadia, they are projecting to rake in close to $900 million in revenue by its 3rd year of operation. This will come be from an estimated user base of just over 8 million subscribers.

Facebooks acquisition of PlayGiga, however, is public knowledge, which reports that the social media giant spent a cool €70 million on the start-up. PlayGiga is currently servicing Italy, Spain, Argentina and Chile with plans to add Sweden, Austria, the Netherlands and Guatemala to this list in the foreseeable future.

Common sense says that Facebook will prioritise a solution in 2020 for the United States as a matter of urgency. With a community of gamers and families trained to respond to subscription streaming services, the USA is a goldmine that can’t be left untapped.
