Deutsche Telekom’s edge for cloud gaming
Thursday, October 24, 2019 at 10:25AM Deutsche Telekom believes its network gives it an edge in the emerging game-streaming market.
The operator is trialling a cloud-based service similar to the likes of Google and Microsoft.
The operator already offers IP TV and music as part of its entertainment offerings and will decide if gaming will be the third component. The operator will launch its MagentaGaming cloud-based service in 2020.
“Since 2017, the biggest market in entertainment is gaming,” says Dominik Lauf, project lead, MagentaGaming at Deutsche Telekom.
Market research firms vary in their estimates but the global video gaming market was of the order of $138 billion in 2018 while the theatrics and home entertainment market totalled just under $100 billion for the same period.
