The idea was to release an online service — the “Netflix” of games — to stream popular video games without a console. With demanding games on their roster like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Borderlands 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, their servers have to be rock-solid to keep up. Using my home wi-fi and some luck, I was able to play Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for a decent amount of time. Would the concept of these AI-driven games that play themselves ruin gaming? What Mario Kart Tour likely does is either give NPC racers real players’ usernames, or records players’ race performances and randomly select 11 performances to pit you against every time you start an online race.
