Platform
Boosteroid
Boosteroid is a cloud gaming service that streams PC games from remote servers to any device without requiring local hardware.
What is Boosteroid?
Boosteroid entered the cloud gaming market as an independent European alternative to the well-funded platforms from Amazon, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. Founded in 2018 in Kyiv, it built a subscription-based cloud streaming service that runs games on remote servers and streams them to virtually any screen — browser, iOS, Android, Smart TV, or desktop client — without requiring players to own gaming hardware. The service distinguishes itself with broad game compatibility, including support for many titles from Steam, Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect, and Battle.net, making it more agnostic about the underlying storefront than some competitors.
Boosteroid's infrastructure uses data centres across Europe and North America to stream game sessions to subscribers. The streaming technology handles video encoding, input latency, and session management for thousands of concurrent sessions. Because Boosteroid streams games from actual game installations on its servers rather than through native cloud APIs, it can support a broader library than cloud-native services but depends on per-title configuration working correctly for each game. Subscribers need accounts on both Boosteroid and the relevant game storefront — Steam, Epic, etc. — with the Boosteroid platform brokering the session between the player's client and the remote server.
Service problems at Boosteroid surface in ways specific to cloud streaming infrastructure. Sessions fail to start, with the browser or app client returning a "session not available" error after a brief wait. Streaming quality degrades during server load events, manifesting as severe compression artefacts or input lag that makes games unplayable. The Boosteroid launcher fails to authenticate accounts during backend incidents. Specific game titles become unavailable on the platform when their server configurations have errors, even if the broader service is healthy. Users in regions served by a specific data centre experience total service unavailability when that data centre has connectivity issues, while users served by other regions remain unaffected.
Outage.gg tracks Boosteroid service status using real-time community reports from cloud gaming subscribers. If Boosteroid sessions are failing to start, streaming quality is severely degraded, or account login is down, the live status page shows current impact.
