A new era of Gaming accessibility
Shaga is not just another cloud gaming platform – it is redefining the gaming experience. By turning every gaming PC into a Shaga Node, every streamer into an infrastructure provider, and every local community into a virtual arcade, Shaga eliminates the need for remote servers and delivers ultra-low latency gameplay. This partnership enables Star Atlas, a AAA Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time Strategy (MMORTS) game, to reach players on any device – PCs, laptops, tablets or smartphones – without the need for expensive, specialized hardware. From underserved regions to key markets such as Southeast Asia (SEA) and Latin America (LATAM), players of all economic backgrounds can now seamlessly enter the Star Atlas metaverse.
“This isn’t just about reach, it’s about welcoming everyone into the Star Atlas cybernation,” said Michael Wagner, CEO of ATMTA. “Partnering with Shaga feels like giving every player a key to our universe. We built Star Atlas to push boundaries – space exploration, Web3 ownership, real-world earning potential, epic strategy – and now, with Shaga’s streaming magic, we’re tearing down the hardware walls that have kept so many players on the sidelines.”
Powering performance with Decentralized Tech
Shaga’s decentralized network leverages edge computing to deliver high-performance streaming that matches or exceeds local hardware experiences. With dynamic scaling for varying internet speeds and device capabilities, players will enjoy lag-free access to Star Atlas’ resource-intensive gameplay and real-time mechanics. This collaboration positions both Shaga and Star Atlas at the forefront of decentralized gaming, fostering a seamless, inclusive experience for casual and hardcore gamers alike.
“Star Atlas has created a bold, boundary-pushing vision of gaming, and Shaga is revolutionizing the way players connect to it,” said Guido Pardini, CEO of Shaga. “Shaga represents the next evolution of cloud gaming, building toward a future where millions of idle gaming PCs power a peer-driven network that delivers high-fidelity games on demand – virtually anywhere, on any device, with near-zero latency. By creating a shared economy where gamers earn from the networks they help power, this partnership empowers communities and makes breakthrough gaming experiences truly accessible to everyone.”
What is Star Atlas and why should you care?
Star Atlas isn’t just another game – it’s a next-generation gaming metaverse born from the fusion of cutting-edge blockchain technologies, real-time graphics, and multiplayer gameplay. Imagine cinematic visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite technology combined with a secure, serverless experience via Solana’s blockchain. Players can own, trade, and earn real-world value through in-game assets, creating a dynamic economy that mirrors real-world ownership.
But here’s the catch: until now, access to such high-quality gameplay required powerful hardware, leaving many potential players on the sidelines. Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone – and that’s where Shaga comes in.
