Plex's intuitive interface and comprehensive platform support make it an excellent option for setting up and maintaining a personal media server. An expanding library of free streaming content increases its appeal.
Plex announced
Plex Arcade this week, a subscription service that brings classic Atari games to all of your screens. You can play the classics like Centipede, Lunar Lander, Motor Psycho, and plenty more, all for a starting price of $2.99/month for those already with a Plex Pass. If you don’t have a Plex Pass, it’s gonna cost you $4.99/month.
Plex details you’ll be getting access to the Atari games, but in addition, users can store and play their own game ROMs, too. Additionally, there are limitations with regard to platform support, but you can play the games on TV screens, tablets, and phones. As Plex details, the game server only works on Windows and macOS, not available for servers running on Linux, NAS devices, or NVIDIA SHIELD. Ultimately, gameplay is restricted to Android (mobile and TV), iOS, tvOS, and the Chrome web browser.
Gamers can now play arcade games inside Plex starting at $2.99 per month.
Plex has today announced Plex Arcade, a way for users to stream arcade games from their Plex server.
Games can be played on iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs via a game controller, with Plex recommending a PlayStation or Xbox controller for those who are serious about their arcade fun.
Let the gaming begin. Play old school Atari classics plus your own collection of game ROMs and emulators on your favorite devices, courtesy of Plex Labs and Atari. It s a guaranteed win!
There are current;y 27 games available while others will surely be coming in the future. Those games include some big hitters like Super Breakout, Centipede, Lunar Lander, and Missle Command. Plex says gamers can even use their own ROMs to help flesh out their arcade library.
Plex partnered with Atari to launch a library of retro video games.
The cloud gaming service was created through a partnership with Parsec to achieve low-latency gaming.
You can try out the new service free for 7 days, after which you can pay just $3 a month.
Plex is one of the more interesting digital content providers in that it allows users to store media in a server and stream it from nearly anywhere. Sure, some streaming services like Netflix lets you download content, but when it s no longer available on the service, it s gone. With Plex, users can host their own server of content, and thanks to the latest partnership with Atari and Parsec, Plex subscribers can now add retro video games to their catalog!
