Obviously playing games on your phone is not the same as playing them on a big-screen TV with an amazing sound system and your snacks close at hand. It might seem counterintuitive based on the above, but 5G mobile gaming may be as good as playing on a console or PC. And in some cases, it’s not just as good, but better.

Consider the following four facts about 5G gaming.

5G gaming can be faster

Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband delivers a top-of-the-line 5G experience with download speeds of up to 1 Gbps. That kind of performance frees people up to do things on the go that were previously only possible through their home internet service.

(Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband also powers Verizon 5G Home Internet.)

5G gaming gets you out of the endless upgrade cycle.

Consoles provide power, but staying up to date means upgrading to the latest model every few years. In comparison, all the complex calculations involved in 5g cloud gaming happen in the cloud. This allows gamers to play the latest releases without needing a new video card or the latest console.

5G gaming lets you play on the go.

Cloud gaming on America’s most reliable 5G network allows gamers to play their favorite, high-quality games on the go. With Verizon 5G, gamers no longer have to choose between staying home or going out.

5G gaming is where the action is.
