引擎盖下：Meta公司的云游戏基础设施

The promise of cloud gaming is a promise to democratize gaming. Anyone who loves games should be able to enjoy them and share the experience with their friends, no matter where they’re located, and even if they don’t have the latest, most expensive gaming hardware. Facebook launched its cloud gaming platform in 2020 to give anyone on Facebook instant access to native Android and Windows games across every screen and web browser.

云游戏的承诺是对游戏民主化的承诺。任何喜欢游戏的人都应该能够享受游戏，并与他们的朋友分享经验，无论他们身在何处，即使他们没有最新、最昂贵的游戏硬件。Facebook在2020年推出了云游戏平台，让Facebook上的任何人都能通过每个屏幕和网络浏览器即时访问原生安卓和Windows游戏。

Creating the unprecedented access offered by cloud gaming required engineers at Meta to rise to new challenges and develop a growing hardware infrastructure capable of delivering quality game experiences to people all over the world.

创造云游戏所提供的前所未有的通道，需要Meta公司的工程师迎接新的挑战，开发一个不断增长的硬件基础设施，能够向世界各地的人们提供高质量的游戏体验。

But gaming itself is also evolving. From new 3D experiences like AR and VR to what will eventually become the metaverse, people all over the world want to play increasingly immersive games as seamlessly and easily as possible. While it will take a massive effort across the industry to bring the metaverse to fruition, we believe creating the infrastructure and solving the challenges of cloud gaming are pointing us toward solutions for the metaverse as well.

但游戏本身也在不断发展。从AR和VR等新的3D体验，到最终将成为元空间，世界各地的人们都希望尽可能无缝、轻松地玩到越来越多的沉浸式游戏。虽然需要整个行业的巨大努力来实现元空间，但我们相信创建基础设施和解决云游戏的挑战也为我们指明了元空间的解决方案。

Why cloud gaming?

为什么是云游戏？

Cloud gaming is about accessibility — bringing gaming to people regardless of the device they’re using or where they’re located in the world. Placing game apps on the cloud frees people up from having to purchase new hardware and also removes the need for large downloads or waiting for updates. It enables seamless cross-play across desktop and mobile devices as well as flexible app distribution.

云游戏是关于可及性--将游戏带给人们，无论他们使用的是什么设备，也无论他们位于世界何处。将游戏应用程序放在云端，使人们不必购买新的硬件，也不再需要大量下载或等待更新。它实现了跨桌面和移动设备的无缝交叉游戏，以及灵活的应用程序分发。
