Playkey is a little different from the other cloud services featured here. Rather than rely on centralized servers sitting in a desert somewhere, Playkey utilizes everyone’s favorite buzzword of the century: the blockchain. In fact, once you install the service, you can decide if you want to play games… or let your device mine for cryptocurrency.

How’s the library?

Playkey features more than 300 games in its catalog. You can also link your Steam library or buy individual games.

Cons

First, ask yourself how you feel about the blockchain. Then, consider that Playkey requires you to pay by the hour.

Pricing

It costs about $50/month for unlimited play, or you can pay by the hour. Five hours of playtime costs $10 with the latest discounts.
