Since the entire infrastructure is heavily dependent on the Internet, the user’s Internet connection needs stability and a certain bandwidth. The connectivity requirement ranges from 10 Mbps to 50 Mbps, depending on the gaming platform. Even if optimal bandwidth is available, latency can be caused by a variety of factors including interference, number of users on the connection, different applications, type of connections, etc.
Exploring the Limitations of Current Cloud Gaming Technology
Cloud gaming technology has made significant advancements in recent years, but it still has some limitations such as:
Latency
One of the primary challenges in cloud gaming is latency, which refers to the delay between a player’s input and the corresponding response from the game. Since cloud gaming heavily relies on a fast and stable internet connection, any delay in data transmission can result in frustrating gameplay. Factors such as network congestion, interference, and the number of users on the connection can contribute to latency issues.
Bandwidth
Cloud gaming requires a significant amount of bandwidth to deliver high-quality graphics and seamless game streaming. If a player’s Internet connection lacks sufficient speed or if there is network congestion, it can lead to buffering, interruptions, and degraded visual quality during gameplay. The demand for robust bandwidth can be a challenge, especially in areas where high-speed Internet access is limited.
