Vortex Gaming

· India's cloud gaming market has become vibrant since the launch of NVIDIA GeForce NOW and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
· In this video, we directly experience and compare all currently available cloud gaming platforms in India from a new user's perspective.
· We aim to find the best service by comprehensively evaluating each platform's subscription, user experience, and features.

· Jio Cloud Gaming is included within the Jio Games app, offering HTML5 games and some PC games.
· It used to be free but now requires a paid subscription, and the PC games offered are somewhat dated.
· Based on playing games like WRC 7 and Sleeping Dogs, the quality was decent, but we experienced slight latency and slow speeds. Gamepad support was smooth.

Pros	Cons
· Can play older PC games · Relatively smooth gameplay · Gamepad support · No queues (few users)	· Dated game library · Slow speeds and latency in some games · Transition from free to paid · High proportion of mobile games

· Once considered a premium cloud gaming service, its Play Store rating has dropped to 3.1.
· It allowed playing various games by linking PC/Steam accounts, but recent service quality degradation is noticeable.
· It offers hourly plans (4 hours for 39 Rupees) and monthly plans (NSD), and some games experience queues.
· We tried to play Hogwarts Legacy, but the game wouldn't start, and we couldn't play it even after the subscription expired.

· True Cloud: The website is well-built, but social media activity is low and marketing is insufficient. It offers various plans, but the service's activation status is uncertain, so we didn't subscribe.
· Xtreme Cloud Gaming: The website is more impressive than True Cloud's, and it seems to focus more on cloud PC VM services. It offers a free 1-hour trial, but due to low social media activity, we held off on subscribing directly.

· Since its launch in India, performance has been steadily improving, offering stable gameplay especially on PC and mobile.
· Using the Ultimate and Pro plans, we could enjoy games like COD Warzone and Fortnite without interruptions.
· There were recent reports of subscription price reductions, but some games have been removed from the Ultimate plan.
· Despite using the Bengaluru server, minor packet loss and slight movement lag were observed. This could be due to beta access or an increase in free plan users.

· NVIDIA GeForce NOW has officially launched in India and has established its own servers.
· The free tier has long queues (about 25 minutes), and game graphics can appear blurry at 480p.
· When connecting a gamepad, some packet loss and movement lag occurred.
· Using the paid plans (Pro, Ultimate) is expected to provide a better quality and performance experience without queues.
·

· Glitch9 offers a differentiated service with features like one-click game launch and pay-as-you-go credit top-ups.
· Games can be launched directly within the browser, and a separate app installation is also supported.
· Testing various games like 2K25 and Roman Reigns matches, we experienced excellent visual quality and seamless gameplay.
· There was almost no input lag, and it provided graphics and frame rates comparable to a PC, offering the most satisfying experience.

· 1st Place: Glitch9 - Offers the best performance and user experience
· 2nd Place: Xbox Cloud Gaming - Stable performance and improved experience
· 3rd Place: NVIDIA GeForce NOW - Disappointing during beta, future improvements expected
· 4th Place: Jio Cloud Gaming - Primarily older games, solid basic functionality
· 5th Place: OnePlay - Disappointing due to service quality degradation
