Remember that buzz around this little streaming app called Rainway, which allegedly would allow you to painlessly stream your PC games to a variety of platforms, from other PCs to the Nintendo Switch? Well it’s popped back up again. We now know that they’re launching an open beta and have a new trailer to show us how simple it aims to be.

The open beta comes to Android devices and web browsers on January 20, 2018 with no further news on when we can expect any more support. It was revealed on Twitter however that the developers recommend a minimum of 12mbps upload speed for the smoothest, best performing streaming.

Of course, this is far from the first company to try to make a name off of video game streaming, which see a lot more problems than streamed video due to factors which can cripple a game, like input lag. Hopefully the configurability and technology of Rainway stands up. Are you excited to bring your PC games to your phone, or do you still remember being burned by OnLive? Let us know in the comments.

Rainway is an app that lets you stream games directly from your PC to other devices- in other words, a universal ‘remote play’ app for PC games. It sounds like it would be something great to have on a device like Switch- which, interestingly enough, is one of the platform that the creators of the app have been teasing it for for a while, now.

Just recently, they posted a tweet showing a picture of the Switch playing Cuphead, the popular 2D action platformer which launched on Xbox One and PC a few months ago- so, it is clear that work on it seems to be coming along well, right?

Apparently, that’s not the only thing that is going well, either, as, according to a post on their official Discord server (via Reddit), talks with Nintendo are also proceeding well. While no official confirmation or rejection for the app has occurred yet, the developers note that things seem to be coming along okay.

Whether or not the app ends up releasing officially on the Switch remains to be seen- I would be very shocked if it does, to be honest.
