Shinra expands its cloud gaming to include Verizon fiber customers in Texas

The next generation of wired Internet is fiber-optic cable, and the speeds its capable of may change the way we consume games. One company is trying to position itself for that future.

Shinra Technologies is announcing today that it’s expanding the test of its cloud game-streaming service in North America. Previously, the service was open to try out for anyone with a Google Fiber connection in Kansas City — but now, Shinra is bringing it to Verizon FiOS subscribers in Texas as well. The beta test begins today, and it includes games like Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Final Fantasy VII.
