Last month, Microsoft announced an interesting roll-out of the ‘Stream Your Own Game’ initiative, an update to Cloud Gaming that allowed users to play Xbox games they digitally owned over the internet on supported TVs and smart devices like phones, tablets and PCs. No download required.

One of the more recent extensive changes in the gaming world has been the invention of cloud gaming. Games are pushing the boundaries of what is possible graphically more and more, requiring powerful hardware. Cloud gaming makes this more accessible, leveraging remote servers to run games, and then streaming them to the users’ devices.
