NetEase followed Tencent into the Chinese streaming services market. The company has launched an open beta test of the NetEase Cloud Games platform.
It is noted that the site was launched in November.
According to TechNode, the NetEase cloud solution offers a standard service: streaming gaming for Android, iOS and PC games. However, at this stage the service only supports the game on mobile devices.
There are 38 games on the site in total. 20 of them are from NetEase itself. There are also titles from a rival publisher, Tencent: these are Honor of Kings and Fate / Grand Order.
Customers of the service can play through any mobile browser. Android users were a little more lucky: a special application has already been released for them.
Basically, they say about Cloud Games that players are forced to stand in long queues when trying to enter the game. As NetEase states, it is precisely such problems that an open beta test should identify.
Note that Chinese giants are paying more and more attention to the streaming industry. Tencent itself is working on two cloud services at once: Tencent Instant Play (according to Game Look, the company repeatedly showed it at industry conferences in March) and Start. Moreover, in the field of cloud gaming, the giant cooperates with companies such as Intel and Unity.
