• It is not just for Jio SIM customers and requires a phone number for registration.
• Support for wired and Bluetooth controllers is available on all platforms.
• There are no hardware specifications other than a 'stable internet connection.'

Everyone can now gain early access to the beta version of JioGamesCloud. The Indian cloud gaming service, which was introduced three years ago at a Reliance AGM event, aims to add top-notch games to its platform, such as Saints Row IV, Kingdom Come Deliverance, and others.

 To be fair, the majority of its lineup consists of obscure mobile games. Users who are interested in testing out games from JioGamesCloud's library via the JioGames Android app, their web browsers, and the JioFiber set-top box can join up for the JioGamesCloud beta programme. Without the need for any downloads, installations, or upgrades, games may be played right away.

Load times and performance, like those of every other cloud gaming service, are wholly reliant on your internet connection. On an Android phone, a Windows laptop, and a MacBook Air, it performed reasonably well at 16 mbps with full-HD 1080p graphics during Gadgets 360's testing. 

We have found that JioGamesCloud is currently free for everyone, even those with Airtel or Vi phone numbers. However, we would anticipate it to be locked behind a membership in the future. It may operate on a recurring monthly subscription similar to Xbox Game Pass, which is bundled with Cloud Gaming but isn't available in India. Reliance Jio announced in 2020 that it was collaborating with Microsoft to expand the Project xCloud gaming service to India.

JioGamesCloud performs similarly to the majority of phone-based games on an Android device, offering on-screen controls that can be enhanced with a Bluetooth controller. JioGamesCloud's desktop version, in contrast, uses a keyboard-and-mouse interface with controller compatibility. 

Both the PS5's DualSense and the Xbox Wireless Controller included with an Xbox Series X were put through testing by Gadgets 360. Although neither had a working D-pad, and the DualSense's controls were peculiar and couldn't be modified, both were functional. 

You 'would need a gaming controller (Bluetooth or Wired) linked to your Set-Top-Box [and the JioGamesNow app] to play on your television,' according to the JioGamesCloud FAQ section on the official website.
