Kinda. It’s basically a love child between server hosting and streaming services with focus on gaming.
You can connect your Steam account, for example, and then run games on their hardware which is streamed to you by browser. So you have control which games to run into but have to bring your own.
Payment options include more powerful hardware but even the basic one was great when I used it. So I could play a modern game with raytracing on my old potato. Your machine just needs to be able to easily stream stuff, so run a modern browser without sweating.
On the offside, it’s naturally always online and I had latency problems when many players were online which was common on weekends and what got me to upgrade my setup eventually.
