NetEase Cloud Gaming
NetEase Cloud Gaming streams mobile and PC games using cloud technology and server resources. Game operations run in the cloud, so local installation and device storage are not required. It supports Android, iOS, web and Windows, and lists Android, iOS, web/PC and TV as supported devices. Streaming resolution reaches 1080p, and the game access model is mixed.
Its private cloud computer provides space for games and apps. Games downloaded there can be used again later without downloading them again. Data stored on the persistent disk remains after a session ends. First-time cloud computer users receive a two-day data disk trial, and new users can use registration-awarded free time. A free UU accelerator is also listed. When the data disk expires, the computer remains playable, but its data is cleared each time the user exits. Disk capacity can be expanded but not reduced, and the additional E drive does not retain data after exit. The service has a free plan and free trial. The data disk is listed at 10 CNY a month during the promotional period, for 100 GB.
