What is cloud gaming and how does it work?

Cloud gaming is like Netflix for games — the games run on powerful computers far away and you control them on your phone, tablet, or TV through the internet. You don't need an expensive console, just good internet and a subscription.

Cloud gaming runs games on powerful computers in data centers instead of on your console. You see the game on your screen and control it with a controller. It's simpler and cheaper because you don't have to buy expensive hardware.
