English term or phrase: cloud gaming
Definition from What Games Are:
Since 2009 a couple of services (primarily OnLive and Gaikai) have launched which provide streamed games to players either through a dedicated console device or a PC client. The games are hosted and run on a network of cloud servers, unlike a downloaded game, so there is no need for installation of software or costly hardware.

pilvipelaaminen


Definition from Yle Uutiset:
Pilvipelaamisessa pelin pyörittäminen siirtyy olohuoneen nurkasta internetin suuriin palvelinkeskuksiin. Näissä palvelinkeskuksissa virtuaaliset pleikkarit tai xboksit hoitavat raskaan tietojenkäsittelyn ja striimaavat lopputuloksen pelaajalle. Pelaaja tarvitsee vain nettiyhteyden ja peliohjaimen.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pilvipelaamisen vahvuus ja idea on siinä, että peli pyörii palveluntarjoajan palvelimella, jolloin asiakkaan päätelaitteen ei tarvitse olla erityisen tehokas, vaan raskaatkin pelit toimivat lähes millä vain laitteella. - Opinnäytetyö pilvipelaamisesta  
  • Käynnistymässä on kultaryntäys, jonka nimi on pilvipelaaminen. - Yle Uutiset
