In their own words
Maximum Settings
Maximum Settings provides a cloud gaming PC that streams games and programs to users’ devices. Customers can install games they own or buy games through stores including Steam, GOG, Itch, and Epic Games Store, and personalize software on the cloud PC. The maker says CPU, GPU, RAM, and motherboard resources are not shared with other customers while they are logged in. Streaming is advertised up to 120 FPS and 4K on compatible devices and screens, with ray tracing support. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows; supported devices also include Apple TV, Chromebook, PS Vita, Wii U, LG webOS TV, and Raspberry Pi. The Maximizer Client is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Packages vary in daily usage allowances and storage; the AMD RX 7900XTX package costs C$29.95 a month and includes eight hours of daily usage, 750GB SSD storage, and 4TB mechanical storage. A trial is limited to the United States and Canada and requires a physical address and valid phone number. Maximum Settings recommends at least 10 Mbps download speed and a stable connection.
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.
