Have you ever wanted to take games like World of Warcraft on the go? This may finally bridge that gap. According to a blog post from startup Ulterius’ Andrew Sampson (via Nintendo Life), upcoming app Rainway promises to allow streaming of PC games to any device—including Nintendo Switch—with “practically no lag,” and it will be free of charge for life.
Here’s the full statement from the blog post:
Rainway is an upcoming program that allows you to play your favorite PC games on nearly any device. Some of our newly developed software techniques allow games to be transmitted from your computer to another device in super-high quality, and with practically no lag.
Rainway’s signature feature is that it’s available on any device with a web browser. You’ll simply visit play.rainway.io, log in, and kick back with your favorite games. Native apps for Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and other platforms are being developed to provide an even more seamless experience.
While the technology to watch PC games live has been around for a few years now, Rainway while using very few system resources allows you to completely play your games from the comfort of anywhere, anytime, on anything.
The best part is that practically any modern PC is compatible. You don’t need to purchase any additional computer hardware and did we mention that it’s free? That’s right, no more 50 dollar boxes or subscription fees, the Rainway experience will be available free of charge for life.
We hope to build a community around Rainway and continue to grow our technology to truly new heights. We will have some media to show off in the coming weeks, but in the mean time pre-register today at the form below to ensure your inclusion in the May 5th beta.
Despite the fact Nintendo itself has locked down its native web browser, Rainway promises to be available on the eShop nonetheless. You can register for the beta here.
What do you think of this app? Do you think it will finally allow any PC game to be played seamlessly on the Switch? Let us know by leaving a reply!
