Cloud-gaming startup Shinra launches its Kansas City test

You don’t need a powerful processor to play triple-A games on your computer … you just need to live in Kansas City and have superfast Internet speeds.

Cloud-gaming startup Shinra Technologies has announced that its technical beta testing phase has begun in Kansas City today. This is a precursor to an open beta that far more people in North America will have access to, but — for now — Shinra wants to stress-test its system to ensure that it works. That’s why it is making this test free for any Google Fiber users in the Missouri city.
