Tencent Games Partners with NVIDIA to Launch START Cloud Gaming Service
December 17 2019 - 11:01PM
GTC China -- Tencent Games and NVIDIA today
announced a collaboration to bring PC gaming in the cloud to China.
NVIDIA’s GPU technology will power Tencent Games’ START cloud
gaming service, which began testing earlier this year. START gives
gamers access to AAA games on underpowered devices anytime,
anywhere. Tencent Games intends to scale the platform to millions
of gamers, with an experience that is consistent with playing
locally on a gaming rig.
“As one of the leading global platforms for game development,
publishing and operations, Tencent Games is set to deliver amazing
cloud gaming,” said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of Gaming at
NVIDIA. “Combining the Tencent platform with NVIDIA’s GPU
technology will provide a world-class experience for gamers
everywhere.”
“NVIDIA’s leadership in building the world’s most powerful GPUs
paired with their experience in cloud solutions will empower us to
scale our START platform to millions of gamers,” said Steven Ma,
senior vice president at Tencent. “Today marks a new opportunity
for our companies to further push the frontiers of gaming.”
Powering the START platform adds to NVIDIA’s growing footprint
in the cloud gaming space. Earlier this year, the company announced
collaborations with Japan’s SoftBank and Korea’s LG U+ for cloud
gaming solutions. Additionally, NVIDIA operates GeForce NOW™ in
select North American and European markets, delivering the best
dedicated PC gaming experience in the cloud to gamers around the
world.
NVIDIA and Tencent Games also announced a joint innovation lab
for gaming. They will work together to explore new applications for
AI in games, game engine optimizations and new lighting techniques
including ray tracing and light baking.
