At CES 2022, Alienware showcased the Concept Nyx as a possible future streaming gaming platform. Its essence lies in the fact that loading and launching games occurs almost instantly on any screen – in almost the same way as it is now done with music and TV shows. At first glance, the idea is simple, but undoubtedly difficult to implement. The company says the Nyx software can stream any PC game wirelessly, no matter where it was purchased.
For example, someone is playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a computer but wants to move to the living room couch and play on a big TV. To do this, just press the corresponding button in the application to wirelessly switch to the TV. In this case, you can broadcast the game in split screen mode. Alienware is currently working to stream up to four games simultaneously. A sufficiently powerful computer is required to run several games at the same time. In addition, you need a network with the ability to distribute multiple streams with low latency. It’s unclear if Alienware plans to release its own hardware, or how much it might cost.
Compared to existing services (Google Stadia, Amazon Luna) Concept Nyx emphasizes simplicity and no compromises. In a way, this is very similar to what Valve offers – the Remote Play Anywhere feature. But Concept Nyx claims to be able to run games from multiple platforms.
The Verge writes that the demonstration of the Concept Nyx’s capabilities impressed them. Switching between screens took only a few seconds and the latency was minimal. However, it is necessary to really evaluate the work of this concept in an ordinary environment.
