Streaming gaming has been the Next Big Thing for a few years now, even as hype built for the launch of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Nvidia has been at the forefront of bringing streaming titles to the PC business, and the company announced last night that it intends to take its Nvidia Grid service out of beta and formally launch it later this year, alongside its new console.
In theory, streaming games makes a great deal of sense. Players have access to vast title libraries without the need to keep track of local disks or risk broken consoles. The living room space and power consumption costs are all outsourced to a remote server, and all the player has to maintain is a fast Internet connection and pay a monthly service fee.
