What Is Fortnite X Xbox Cloud Gaming?
Cloud gaming is a method of gaming in which video games are run on remote servers — or a cloud — and streamed directly to a user's device. Instead of struggling to run a game on your mobile device or a mediocre laptop, cloud gaming runs it for you via a powerful PC inside of a secure data centre.
Cloud gaming technology grants the benefits of PC gaming without the need to go out and purchase a physical PC. Also, with cloud gaming, you don't even have to download or install games to play them.
