Concept Nyx by Alienware is a device that allows gamers to effortlessly transition from their PCs to a TV. It can enable everyone in a household access their complete game library and play on any device, even if they switch screens during gameplay. This is no easy task, but Alienware is on it.
This follows after past daring Alienware projects that have pushed limits and upgraded the PC gaming experience. From creating the thinnest gaming laptops to date with the Alienware X-Series to bold gaming ideas like Concept UFO.
Imagine exploring Night City in CyberPunk 2077 from your bedside computer. Your roommates are playing Rocket League on their laptops and tablets in the living room. A fresh world in Minecraft on your cousin’s phone is also over. When it’s time for supper, head downstairs and hand the controller to a roommate. Your CyberPunk 2077 experience can simply be switched to the 65-inch TV in the living room.
So there may be a question popping in your brain about the working of this functionality. Concept Nyx highlights edge computing. It uses a local network to handle the high-performance game processing. Because it uses local computing, it may have lower latency, greater bandwidth, and faster response times than current alternatives like cloud gaming. For modern cloud gaming systems, this means multiplayer latency might be as low as single digit milliseconds!
In addition, a central library of all your games regardless of where they were purchased has been investigated. Concept Nyx wants gaming to be as simple as listening to music or watching TV episodes. Imagine the possibility of a single app loaded on each device in the home to improve gaming. Assume no more game-related arguments with your family or housemates. That way, everyone can play on their own terms.
This approach may appeal to casual gamers, next generation gamers, and the whole family. With Concept Nyx, Alienware clearly wants to outperform other brands in the high-end gaming segment.
