Play PC games on your smartphone

NetBoom is a game utility developed by NetBoom Ltd. It is a free online gaming platform that allows users to play triple-A PC games on their smartphones. Among the list of titles it supports are Call of Duty, League of Legends, and Grand Theft Auto. 

Like GeForce Now or Google Stadia, NetBoom allows you to play trending games in high quality. Moreover, you don’t need to pay to access each game. You only need an internet connection. Not only that, but it won’t take up space on your device since the app only streams the game you play. 

What is NetBoom?

There are a lot of good PC games available. However, they cost a lot and require a good-performing computer. Sometimes, the developers would release a mobile version, but it takes years before they become available. Luckily there are various online platforms that allow you to play PC games on your smartphones. One of them is NetBoom. As mentioned, it runs on the cloud, letting users play on streaming. 

Using the app is easy and even feels as if you are connected to a virtual desktop. Not only can you play different titles, but you can also manage these games on the screen. To play any game, you only have to tap on the name or the thumbnail. Then, after a brief loading time, the game will start with no waitlist or additional download necessary.

Although it brings PC games to smartphones, NetBoom retains the titles’ graphics. However, the specific resolution, framerate, and latency depend on your device’s capabilities and connections. Also worth noting is the fact that using the app eats up a lot of data. With this, it is advisable to play on a WiFi network. The games are also better played on gaming peripherals, such as Bluetooth controllers and gaming mice.

Is the app worth downloading?

All in all, NetBoom is a good tool to have for players who wish to play PC games but do not have the equipment. With this, you can play different games without downloading them and paying for them. Moreover, you can play them on your phone. The app supports a wide variety of titles and does not require additional downloads. Although, the experience depends on your connection and your device.
