What it is

Tencent START is a cloud gaming platform that runs and renders games on cloud servers, then streams the image to supported devices. The listing says players can start supported games without downloading them and continue progress across devices after signing in with the same account. Its library includes online, single-player, and independent games, with personalized categories and recommendations. Listed devices include iPhone, iPad, mobile devices, tablets, computers, and TVs; the iPhone app requires iOS 14.0 or later. Tencent says START ENGINE supports biological and dense-plant rendering, dynamic tree simulation, and GPU-accelerated fluid simulation. Tencent Cloud describes streaming with Tencent-RTC and Mingmou encoding, plus JavaScript, Android, and iOS SDKs and APIs for game and streaming functions. The service is described as a PaaS solution for PC and mobile games, with functions migrated to application cloud rendering. One concurrent instance supports at most one player.
