■ What is [Cloud Gaming]?
Unlike games downloaded and played locally on your smartphone, cloud gaming allows you to play games while streaming the game data from servers via the internet.
This means you can enjoy large games without the hassle of downloading them.
*If you're in an area with an unstable connection, such as while on the move, you may experience difficulty playing. A WiFi connection is recommended.
■ How to check if a game supports [Cloud Gaming]
Compatible games will include the phrase "This title supports DL Play Box [Cloud Gaming]" on their product page.
■ System requirements for [Cloud Gaming]
A stable internet connection is always required.
If your connection becomes unstable, the game screen will pause, and a notification bar will appear.
Once the connection stabilizes, gameplay will resume; however, if the connection quality remains poor for 60 seconds, the game will close.
The game will also close automatically under the following circumstances:
- If there is no activity on the game screen for 3 minutes and no actions are taken within 30 seconds after a notification bar appears.
- If the device enters sleep mode or switches to another app, leaving the game in the background for 4 minutes.
Please note that save data will not be retained if the game is closed as described above.
For more information on system requirements, refer to the "System Requirements and App Download" section under [ About DL Play Box ].
■ Simultaneous connection limit for [Cloud Gaming]
[Cloud Gaming] has a set limit on the number of simultaneous connections per title.
If access exceeds the limit, a "Game server is busy" screen will appear.
You will need to wait on this screen until your turn.
*If access exceeds the limit, the maximum number of connections will be increased the following day to resolve congestion.
