In today’s increasingly distributed computational landscape, cloud gaming has emerged as a transformative entertainment model. Cloud gaming refers to any gaming experience in which certain game engine components are hosted on remote servers, thereby requiring a network connection for proper operation. Despite its promising potential, this service is beset by a range of open challenges and practical difficulties that must be addressed for its widespread adoption. Beyond-5G (B5G) networks, and their native integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and edge computing services, has emerged as a promising solution to some of the central challenges: Achieving ultra-low latency and ubiquitous connectivity to fulfill the idea of enabling gaming anywhere. In this work, we provide a comprehensive analysis of existing platforms, datasets, approaches, and challenges, as well as future research directions in this rapidly evolving field.
