Surprise ! Cloud gaming is back in our web browsers with a new player: Playruo. The goal here is to allow video game creators to offer trial versions (or full games) directly in our browsers, without downloading or installation.
Developed by Fergus Leleu, Jean-Baptiste Kempf and Yannis Weinbach, experts in cloud, advertising and video games (and all former Shadow), Playruo is a cloud gaming solution dedicated to the discovery of video games. The service is defined as “ a major transformation in the promotion and discovery of video games “.
Playruo, what is this new cloud gaming offer?
The Playruo platform aims to offer players an innovative and simple way to discover games. Whether it’s the players, who will be able to discover new games very quickly (and at no cost), or the developers, who will be able to have their creations tested by as many people as possible, everyone gains something.
Among Playruo’s partners, we find in particular the French video game studio Old Skull Games. In this way, Playruo will allow you to discover the studio’s next original game, namely a certain Cryptical Path. Each interaction with a game is therefore an opportunity for a developer to convert an occasional player into a loyal member of its community.
Playruo, how does it work?
The process is simple: developers take care of providing a demo (or full version) of their game, and Playruo takes care of everything else. Thus, the test in question can be limited in time or stop at the end of a mission, depending on the wishes of the studio. Without installation, without downloading, players can test a game in one click.
For Yannis Weinbach, product director at Playruo: “ With Playruo, we put the power in the hands of creators to offer immersive gaming experiences and allow them to test their works to as many people as possible. »
According to its designers, Playruo is based on “ solid fundamentals » and proven, such as VLC and FFmpeg. In this way, the video games offered by the service are guaranteed without the slightest perceptible latency and adapt to all configurations.
The other good news is that Playruo is free for players. The company indicates that it is the publishers and developers who are responsible for financing the service.
