Alienware is showing off its Concept Nyx, which imagines a future where games can be played on a variety of screens, as quickly as streaming music and TV shows. The idea is simple, but complex: through the Nyx software, all of your PC games would be available to stream to a variety of screens at home, regardless of where you bought them.
You want to play Cyberpunk 2077 on your PC, but you also want to play on a big TV in the living room. The idea is that you could tap a button in an app and the game would swap displays, letting you hog the TV all to yourself or have your game squeeze next to another in a split-view mode. Alienware is trying to make it possible to stream four games at once. Alienware demoed a prototype of Concept UFO controllers that were attached to a Switch-like device.

In the conceptual phase, a machine that is powerful enough to run multiple games at once is required. It is not clear whether Alienware will release its own hardware, how much it will cost, or whether it will be a paid service. Alienware needs to provide answers to a lot of questions.

In our joint session of Cyberpunk 2077 and Rocket League, Nyx worked as intended.

Compared to the likes of Stadia and Luna, Concept Nyx seems built to make accessing and playing your already-owned PC games even easier, with a similar level of device compatibility and, perhaps, fewer compromises in terms of visual quality. It is similar to what Valve is doing with its Remote Play Anywhere feature. With handling more streams at once, and pulling in games from multiple platforms, is where Nyx intends to differentiate itself.
It was encouraging that Alienware was able to pull off the demo for us successfully, and that we were able to see the demo on multiple displays. We will need to try it at home to see if it is ready for the real world.
