Playpute Streams

Let people play before they install.

Put a playable session in front of somebody who has not downloaded anything, and let everyone else watch it happen live.

Play from a link

Send someone a link and they are in the game — no download, no launcher, no forty-minute wait before they can tell whether they like it.

Good on a bad connection

Quality follows the connection rather than the other way round, so a player on hotel wifi gets a game that keeps up instead of one that stutters.

Close to the player

Sessions run near whoever joined them, so the game feels the same in Sydney as it does two streets from the datacentre.

Spectators for free

Let a hundred people watch a match without a hundred copies of the game running.

Demos that end cleanly

Hand out a trial that stops when it is over, rather than a copy somebody keeps forever.

Same servers underneath

A streamed session is an ordinary session. Everything you already know about your servers still applies.

What it will do

  • Playable links, no install for the player
  • Live spectating without extra copies of the game
  • Quality that adapts to the player's connection
  • Sessions run near whoever joined them
