Boosteroid - is the cloud gaming service of the future. Review and user feedback

What is Cloud Gaming?

Before we explain in more detail what Boosteroid is, it is worth mentioning what cloud gaming is all about and what stage of development this technology is at today.

Cloud gaming is a technology that allows you to play video games from a remote location on the equipment of a third party company. The player launches the game they want on a company's server. They see the picture and play the game as if it were a broadcast. It's the same as watching someone else's Twitch stream, but you're playing the game.

Cloud gaming has been developing since 2000, when a Finnish company called G-Cluster (short for Game Cluster) first started talking about developing it at E3. The service was released and became available to a wide range of users in 2003.

What is a Boosteroid?

This cloud gaming service has servers located in many different countries all over the world. List of the countries:

• Romania
• Ukraine
• Italy
• Slovakia
• France
• Spain
• United Kingdom
• Sweden
• Serbia
• United States (Washington, Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois).

It's important to remember that a nearby server is not enough to have access to the service. The quality and stability of your Internet connection has always been one of the most important conditions for working with cloud technologies.

What kind of Internet connection is needed for Boosteroid?

The minimum speed for proper operation of the service is 25 Mbps. The recommended delay in the transmission of the signal is not more than 20 milliseconds.

Obviously, the higher the speed, the more stable it is. There are no problems on the user side at a speed of 100 Mbps.

It is better to use a cable connection rather than Wi-Fi to ensure that your experience is as positive as possible. The signal from the latter is unstable. This affects the quality of your connection to the server and the stability of work.

When your connection to the server is slow, the image on your screen may appear blurry and pixelated. This is similar to the situation when you are watching a video on YouTube and the quality drops from 1080p to 720p.

You can buy a modern router with a 5 GHz band, but that doesn't guarantee you a significant improvement in performance. The guarantee of your Internet stability is a good old cable connected to your PC.

In any case, you will be able to do a test on the website and check if your Internet is suitable for the work with the cloud service.

What kind of gamepads does Boosteroid support?

The cloud platform works with a wide variety of game controllers and gamepads. In theory, if you are able to connect a gamepad to your device, then it will work. However, no one can guarantee that it will work with every device in a stable and high-quality manner.

For use with the Boosteroid, we recommend the following gamepads:

• Sony DualShock 4
• Microsoft Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X or S
• Logitech F310/F510/F710 gamepad
• Stadia Controller.

It is worth noting that the controller that you have plugged in, no matter what type it is, will be recognized by the system as an Xbox 360 controller. As a result, the buttons on the screen will be displayed in the Xbox layout as well.

There is also a Boosteroid "virtual" gamepad that lets you turn your phone or tablet into a controller.

It's also worth subscribing to the newsletter. You'll receive news about the platform (which games are added) and coupons for a discount on the first month of subscription. The discount can be up to 30%.

As a reminder, the cloud service only allows you to play the games you want on your own machines. The games themselves must be a separate purchase from one of the digital distribution services. The launcher (sometimes there are several) is indicated on the page of each game. The most common ones are Steam and Epic Games, but there are others as well. There are a total of eight services (platforms).

Games that are distributed in the free-to-play format can be played in the usual way. There are no restrictions.

How does Boosteroid work: 1440p or 1080p?

Standard settings for all games on the platform: Full HD 1080p and 60 fps. Regardless of your internet speed, these are the default settings.

In games, you can change various settings to your liking. You can find a balance between image quality and stability. The developers do not recommend changing these settings. The platform is designed to run at 1080p and 60 fps.

Boosteroid: subscription price, activation codes and promo codes

The platform is operated on the basis of a monthly subscription. The price per month is €9.89. If you pay for each month separately. If you subscribe for the whole year, the price is €7.49. In this case, the total annual price is €89.89.

Boosteroid vs. GeForce Now

To sum it up, Boosteroid is a good and modern cloud service. One of its main features is the availability of servers in many countries, which is crucial for users. There are other similar services that are available for gamers. One of the most popular is GeForce Now.

Which one is the better one? That depends on what you need to use it for. An important factor in the quality of the cloud gaming experience is how close the game servers are to you.

Boosteoid is able to offer a large library of optimized games (over 600). This ensures that every player can find something interesting to play. New games are added frequently.

So, Boosteroid is for you if you want to play modern computer games on any device with internet access and a browser.

Just remember that the final experience will be unique for every user. It all depends on how you connect to the Internet and what device you plan to use. I recommend using a wired connection. This way the signal is as stable as possible and the image on the screen does not break up.

Also, don't forget to check which store is used to launch the game that you are planning to play.
