English term or phrase: cloud gaming
Definition from What Games Are:
Since 2009 a couple of services (primarily OnLive and Gaikai) have launched which provide streamed games to players either through a dedicated console device or a PC client. The games are hosted and run on a network of cloud servers, unlike a downloaded game, so there is no need for installation of software or costly hardware.

Example sentence(s):
  • Hines added that cloud gaming can unlock potential gamer populations developing countries around the world, where infrastructure issues may be holding the field back. CNN
  • Currently, the main cloud gaming service that dips into Netflix-for-games model is PlayStation Now, although Microsoft is rumored to be doing the same with xCloud and Xbox Game Pass. Vortex uses a similar model, but still requires separate purchases for most AAA games. Android Authority
  • Cloud gaming, on the other hand, targets the mass market, aiming to appeal to casual gamers, said Juancho Carrillo of the Spanish cloud gaming provider Play Giga. DW.com

παιχνίδια στο σύννεφο


Definition from Πτυχιακή εργασία:
Τα παιχνίδια που παίζουμε με αυτό τον τρόπο δεν υπάρχουν εγκατεστημένα στον υπολογιστή μας, ούτε στην κονσόλα, αλλά τρέχουν αποκλειστικά μέσω Διαδικτύου. Δεν χρειάζεται να έχουμε πανίσχυρες και πανάκριβες κάρτες γραφικών, μια και την επεξεργασία την αναλαμβάνουν οι διακομιστές της εταιρείας που μας παρέχει το παιχνίδι.

Example sentence(s):
  • Τι είναι όμως το Stadia και το cloud gaming, το «παιχνίδι στο "σύννεφο"»; Φαντάσου ένα Netflix ή ένα Youtube, αλλά αυτήν την φορά για video games. Ασχέτως της συσκευής που χρησιμοποιείς (από υπολογιστή μέχρι κινητό) και τα τεχνικά χαρακτηριστικά αυτής, μπορείς να πατήσεις ένα πλήκτρο και να ξεκινήσεις το game που θέλεις, όπως θα έκανες με ένα βίντεο. - epixeiro.gr  
  • καθώς και με τεχνικές όπως το παιχνίδι στο νέφος (Cloud gaming) - Διπλωματική εργασία
