Cloud gaming on mobile has been a long time coming, but now, it’s moving into a sprint. Sprint has teamed up with Hatch Entertainment to offer mobile cloud gaming services on Sprint’s 5G network in the U.S.

That means that gamers on Sprint 5G will be able to play games through the cloud, which means they can get instant access to games via internet-connected servers in a data center and the rendering capabilities of their own smartphones. That cloud technology allows players to log into a game and pick up where they left off or engage with playable ads for games. Hatch also lets them play a single-player game where friends can be spectators.
