Reply to comment by VideoGamesForU in Stadia’s pivot to a cloud service has also been shut down | After Stadia's commercial failure, the pivot to Immersive Stream for Games is dead, too. by chrisdh79

Is it streaming the game back and forth constantly using more energy than downloading it once? I mean I'm actually asking. I don't know how those things rate up. It just seems to me that a 1 hour of downloading versus say 20 hours of streaming the game over a server...

Not sure and I don't really care tbh but afair bandwith was not a lot for a hour of Xcloud gaming, but could be that I am wrong. In my case I am talking about power consumption of my devices. Playing games on my PC takes a lot lot more energy than just streaming them through the app. As a German that saves me a lot of money.
