Gaikai

Gaikai is an American company that was an early provider of cloud-based gaming services. It was founded in 2008, and by late 2011 its services had reached over 10 million active monthly users.

Gaikai-powered games were previously available on Facebook, YouTube and EA's Origin while the firm in 2010 and 2011 demoed high-profile games like Mass Effect 2, Modern Warfare 4 and Dead Space 2 running via the cloud.

Gaikai was acquired by Sony in 2012, with the firm's technology later going on to power PlayStation Now.
