What is Shadow?

Shadow is a cloud gaming service that allows users to stream and play high-end PC and console video games on any device, even those that lack the powerful CPU and GPU hardware required to run modern games locally. It works through cloud computing - the games run on remote servers in data centers, and Shadow streams the video and audio from those games to the user's device over the internet. This allows users to play the latest and greatest games on simple PCs, Macs, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and other devices that would normally lack the processing power to run such demanding games natively.

Some key things to know about Shadow:

• It removes the need for expensive high-end gaming PCs or consoles, allowing users to play from virtually any internet-connected device.
• Subscribers get access to a dedicated remote Windows gaming PC with high-end components like Nvidia RTX graphics cards.
• The video is compressed but still maintains up to 1080p resolution and 60 FPS for smooth gaming.
• Special client software allows users to control their cloud computer similar to a local PC with keyboard/mouse/controller.
• Storage space allows users to install games, applications, and save files just like a regular computer.
• The service runs $30-40 a month in North America and Europe with varying plan types.

By leveraging the power of the cloud and streaming technology, Shadow provides an impressive gaming experience unmatched by local devices in its price range. It makes high fidelity PC and console gaming accessible to more people on more platforms than ever before.
