Shadow, The Computer of the Future, Announces New Supercharged Gaming Offerings

The company also highlights a new partnership with LG Electronics and new closed beta VR cloud streaming program with its community

Shadow, the first supercharged gaming PC in the cloud, announced the release of their entirely new subscription model, making the service even more accessible. The company also announced highly anticipated new capabilities, which include superior graphics with Ray Tracing, high-speed processing, and up to 1TB of storage.

“​We’re excited to offer an expanded Shadow experience to even more users throughout the United States,​ ”

Shadow’s agnostic Windows 10 platform makes it possible for a user to play any video game, including newly released titles, or run any software, from virtually any device, anywhere. Shadow has worked hand-in-hand with its users to enhance its performance and adapt its product offering, ultimately leading to three new subscription options:

• Tier 1: Shadow Boost ​– at $11.99* per month, this highly accessible offer allows subscribers to play all the latest games from any device.
• Tier 2: Shadow Ultra ​– at $24.99** per month, gamers are offered the possibility to play with superior graphic performances in 4K, up to 144 FPS in Full HD with Ray Tracing compatibility. This offer provides the power of a GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card, but also the power of a better processor, more RAM and more storage.
• Tier 3: Shadow Infinite ​– at $39.99*** per month, Infinite grants the most demanding gamers, streamers and creators direct access to one of the best configurations available on the market: a dream computer including Ray Tracing combined with the top graphics card at the moment (RTX Titan), and 1TB of storage. With this line-up, users will be able to play all the latest games in 4K.

Shadow Boost is immediately available across the United States, as the technological progress made by the company allows it to open the remaining 10 states that were not yet covered. Shadow Ultra and Shadow Infinite will be offered to a limited number of users this summer before wider availability later this year.
