Huawei lets you stream NetEase’s flagship PC game on a phone

With Google Stadia and Microsoft’s Project xCloud on the horizon, Game streaming looks to be the next frontier of gaming. If it works as well as Google and Microsoft say it does, you can play state-of-the-art games straight from your phone with most of the computation done on remote servers.

So it makes sense that Chinese telecom giant Huawei also wants to get in on the fun. The company recently revealed that Huawei device users can now play Justice Online, NetEase's flagship live-service game, from the cloud.

Players can do this this using Huawei Cloud PC, an app the company released a year ago that allows Huawei devices to run Windows 10 in real time. Huawei recently said that Justice Online, which has system requirements similar to those of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, has now been fully optimised for Huawei Cloud PC.

“5G's huge bandwidth and low latency will be the solution to the bottleneck problem for game streaming,” the company said. “In the era of 5G, the internet speeds start at 100Mbps and the lag will be under 20ms.”
