In their own words
Antstream Arcade
Antstream Arcade is a cloud-streaming service for officially licensed retro games. Its advertised library includes over 1,300 games across arcade, computer, and console systems. Players can take on more than 300 original challenge modes, join weekly tournaments, and use global leaderboards. Games stream from the cloud without ROMs or downloads. They save automatically on exit, and players also have three personal save slots, although save states are unavailable for some games. Listed devices include PC, Mac, Linux, Android tablets and phones, iPhone and iPad, Xbox, PlayStation, web browsers, Amazon Fire TV, Atari VCS, and Samsung TV. Subscriptions bought online, through iOS, Android, or Amazon work across several listed platforms; Epic, Xbox, and PlayStation purchases are tied to their respective accounts. A membership is listed at $3.99 a month, and the pricing note includes a 7-day trial. Device compatibility depends on the device. Support is in English, and the UK-based team aims to respond within 24 hours.
