Systems and methods for enabling various devices to remotely interact with cloud-based client applications are provided. A method comprises receiving a first request from a first client device of a user to initiate an interactive session with a cloud-based client application, reserving an application engine for executing the cloud-based client application remotely from the first client device, receiving interaction data from the first client device as the user engages with a first media data associated with the cloud-based client application, modifying the cloud-based client application executing within the application engine that is reserved based on the interaction data received from the first client device, receiving a second request from the first client device to end the interactive session with the cloud-based client application that is modified, and deallocating the application engine that is reserved, wherein the application engine that is reserved is delinked from the first client device.
