Section titled “Concept”Amazon GameLift Streams lets you run a game in the cloud and stream it to a browser — the player doesn’t need a powerful computer. The game runs on AWS servers with GPUs, and only video goes to the player. The player’s keyboard, mouse or controller commands go back the other way to the server. The developer uploads the game and uses a stream group to set how many people can play at the same time. With the Web SDK, you can add this stream to your own website.
