摘要： Data characterizing two players enrolled in a tournament of an online video game is received. Each player is executing a separate instance of the online video game. The online video game is asynchronous between the two players. The data is received by a tournament server hosting the tournament and separate from a game server providing game data to clients associated with the two players. An instruction for synchronous initiation of gameplay between the two players is generated. The instruction is transmitted to the clients associated with the two players, the instruction causing synchronous initiation of the asynchronous games for the two players. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

摘要： Methods and systems for assigning a data center to service a request from a user account include receiving a login request to a cloud gaming server. The login request is examined to identify a user account. A use history of the cloud gaming server is examined to identify a data center. The user account is assigned to the data center to start a session of streaming game play at a server within the data center. The data center is identified without performing a connection testing operation.

摘要： A game system operates by: receiving character attribute selection data to be associated with a game character, wherein the character attribute selection data indicates a unique subset of a set of character attributes of a character attribute database; generating, based on the character attribute selection data, display data associated with the game character; facilitating, based on the display data associated with the game character, generation of a player token NFT associated with the game character; and preventing use of the unique subset of character attributes of the character attribute database in generating other game characters. Facilitating play of a game when the player token NFT is validated.

摘要： A game using a user character is started on the basis of a first start instruction input. At a first timing after that, advancement of the game is finished, and advancement state data until then is transmitted to a server. On the basis of a second start instruction input from a user, a game that is based on advancement state data transmitted to the server by an information processing terminal of another user different from the user and acquired from the server is started, the game using an other-user character having been used in the game by the other user and the user character of the user. At a second timing after the start, advancement of the game is finished and advancement state data is transmitted to the server.

摘要： A video game includes a single player mode where completion of storyline objectives advances the single player storyline. The video game also includes a multiplayer mode where a plurality of players can play on an instance of a multiplayer map. Storyline objectives from the single player mode are selected and made available for completion to players in the multiplayer mode, and the single player storylines can be advanced by players completing respective storyline objectives while playing in the multiplayer mode. Combinations of storyline objectives are selected from pending storyline objectives for players connecting to a multiplayer game for compatibility with multiplayer maps. Constraints can be used to determine compatibility.

摘要： This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for providing network applications. For instance, system(s) may install a network application on a first virtual server. The system(s) may then receive first data representing events that occurred during a first launching of the network application on the first virtual server. Using the events, the system(s) may generate second data for optimizing a second launching of the network application on a second virtual server and store the second data in one or more databases. As such, after installing the network application on the second virtual server, the system(s) may provide the second virtual server with the second data so that the second virtual server may use the second data to optimize the second launching of the network application. In some examples, using the second data reduces the amount of time that it takes for the second virtual server to launch the network application.

摘要： A method including receiving a request to establish a multi-player session for users to enable participation in a metaverse. The method including determining whether an application generating the metaverse is installed on local devices of the users selected for participation in the metaverse by the users. The method including launching a corresponding local instance of the application when the application is installed on a corresponding local device. The method including launching a corresponding cloud instance of the application on a cloud based streaming server when the application is not installed on the corresponding local device. The method including determining that each instance of the application for the users has been launched, wherein each instance for the users is a local instance or a cloud instance. The method including enabling a start of the multi-player session when the instances of the application for the users has been launched.
