CLUSTER GAMES-STREAMS-DESKTOP · 27 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-06-21
Game streaming and remote play clients
This cluster comprises game streaming and remote play clients for PCs, consoles, and cloud services, with a focus on low-latency video/audio relay and controller input across devices. The pre-index entry history is spread across seven years, with single additions appearing in isolated months and long gaps in between, showing no discernible momentum. DroidLink leads traction with 7 stars, while the other dated entries have yet to gain visible activity.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
