☁️🎮 The world of digital distribution is taking another step towards accessibility. Valve has officially introduced Steam Cloud Play — a feature that allows developers to integrate their projects into cloud services. The system is currently in beta, and NVIDIA GeForce NOW is the first strategic partner.
💡 What this means for developers:
• connecting to Cloud Play does not change the revenue model — all purchases remain in the Steam ecosystem;
• it is important to use cloud saves, because games are launched on different virtual devices;
• connecting manually through Steamworks settings;
• only one active game session is available at a time.
🌍 Currently, GeForce NOW via Steam Cloud Play is available in over 80 countries, and the list of partners will expand in the future.
📊 Cloud gaming is gradually becoming an important segment of the digital economy — and it is worth understanding the principles of its operation and development today.
