Nintendo Switch Can Stream PC Games With This App
Entitled Rainway, the news that Nintendo would potentially allow this app onto the eShop means that gamers could play titles like The Witcher 3 or even Overwatch on the Switch in a manner that would obviously bypass the difficulties of porting those games over to the console itself. Of course, game streaming isn’t new concept to the industry as a whole, a testament which failed companies like OnLive can surely vouch for. While it’s unclear what users have to set up from the PC end of things, the developer promises a ‘pain-free’ configuration process for users.
What’s more, the developer has ambitious plans to expand beyond PC and into the console realm once Windows 8 support is fully optimized. This implies that services like PlayStation Now would eventually be able to be streamed over to the Nintendo Switch, which would make Nintendo’s console a veritable smorgasbord of intellectual properties typically exclusive to being seen on one platform.
The developer states that users streaming from a PC with more than one graphical processing unit can have one of the GPUs rendering the game while designating the other to encode the stream, reducing the lag effect that can make streaming these games a frustrating experience for many. While the developer certainly seems confident in the product, it’s worth noting that Rainway hasn’t been giving any real trial by either public or press at the time of this article.
