8. Blacknut
Availability
The Blacknut service is available on a wide range of devices, including Windows, Macs, Chromebooks, Android, iOS, and smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Google, and Amazon Fire. You can even get it through Chromecast. The streaming service recommends using an Xbox controller for playing across the various ecosystems, but really, any controller compatible with the device should work.
Game Library
There’s a library of around 500 titles available on Blacknut, but you’ll struggle to find many—or really any—heavy hitters from even the past few years. You might find one or two games that make you say “oh yeah, I remember that, I wanted to check it out for a quick look,” but you might struggle to find anything that will keep you hooked long-term.
Pricing
Blacknut charges $16 a month for its cloud gaming services, but within that there’s a fair bit of wiggle room. You can create up to five separate accounts, plus there are optional parental controls and cross-platform save data available for free.
Other Considerations
Players have reported the service had some lag issues, but even if you have a perfect run with no server problems, you’ll still be looking for games you honestly want to play.
