With in-home streaming technology, Nvidia wants to give PC gamers the freedom to leave their computing caves.
Dubbed GameStream, the technology is an expansion of the in-home streaming that debuted on Nvidia's Shield handheld. The idea is that users could set up a powerful gaming PC somewhere in the house, and then use Wi-Fi to stream those games to handheld devices and televisions.
Nvidia first launched in-home streaming with its Shield Android gaming handheld in July, but the feature was advertised as a beta, with limited game support. On October 28, Nvidia will launch GameStream and presumably drop the beta tag.
More than 50 top PC games will be supported at launch, and certain Wi-Fi routers will be labeled "GameStream Ready." Nvidia says it will also improve navigation and controls, and promises low-latency gaming at 60 frames per second.
