Shadow has announced the arrival of its cloud computing services, designed for gamers and more, in Italy. Let’s discover this service together
Cloud services have taken up more and more space over the years. From simple storage to save our most important memories or work files that can be opened anywhere, they have evolved over time. Just think of the various Google Stadia, Amazon Luna o Nvidia GeForce Now (not counting theXbox Game Pass and the new PlayStation Plus) that allow us to play anywhere without the need for bulky consoles to carry around every time.
In this sense it has moved Shadowcreating a cloud computing service designed entirely for PC gamers and more recently it is also accessible in Italy, Sweden and Denmark. Let’s take a closer look at the offer of the company founded back in 2015.
Everything we need to know about Shadow’s cloud computing services
Contrary to what one might think, this service it is very different from Google Stadia and company. If those are focused solely on gaming, Shadow is much more. Thanks to this service it will in fact be possible, through a monthly subscription fee, gaining access to a gaming PC in a data center. It will therefore be possible to connect via computer, smartphone, tablet or smart TV and play with the power of a gaming computer.
The purpose of the company is therefore to “to free” gamers from hardware constraints that limit their machines and allow you to enjoy the most recent triple A games even on outdated and no longer performing PCs. The revamped subscription service features an upgraded plan. While the starting price remains 29.99 euros per month, the company is now offering the newest Power Upgrade, for an additional 14.99 euros. The latter includes a PC with the following technical specifications:
- A CPU AMD EPYC 7543P con 4 core and 8 thread
- The power of a high-end GPU ranging from:
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
- Equivalent NVIDIA graphics cards tailor-made for professionals
- The ultimate GPU AMD basate su RDNA 2included AMD Radeon PRO V620 designed for cloud computing and gaming
- RAM da 16 GB
Obviously these PCs can also be used to work, as they can use “more demanding” software in terms of consumption of hardware resources. In addition, the very first customers who subscribe to Shadow PC in Italy, Denmark and Sweden will benefit from one sconto Early Birds. This discount, available in very limited quantities, will not be timed and it will remain active for the duration of the subscription until its cancellation. The amount is equal to 5 euros per month.
The Power Upgrade will be distributed in periodic lots, but no queuing system will be put in place: the Upgrade will simply appear available (or unavailable) on the SHADOW website depending on the current status of each country. A nice idea from the company that could surely revolutionize the world of gaming and beyond. What do you think of this service? Let us know yours in the comments.
