The concept of Alienware Nyx is like a Plex server on your PC games

What if you started playing Hello Infinite on your TV, keep mowing down grunts on the bathroom break, and finishing your part on the laptop when you need to work? That’s the starting point for Alienware’s Concept Nyx, a server that has enough power to run all your games on your home network. Think of it as Plex in a game, but instead of opening your own video library, it’s just bringing your game to all your devices.

Considering the expulsion of games from Google Stadia and Xbox, Alienware may have stumbled upon an exciting solution for multiplayer games. You can run two games at a time on your TV, as we saw at a recent show in NYC. Or you can play Cyberpunk while another achieves their goals Rocket League skills on another device. Since all the services provided by the network take place in your home, Nyx may also be smaller than cloud-based games, which rely on servers that are hundreds of miles away.

Ideas is the key word here, though. Representatives of Alienware would not be able to tell us what supports Nyx’s secret server, which looks like a great gaming computer. And when Cherlynn Low’s Engadget and I were able to play Cyberpunk 2077 and Rocket League once on one TV, the game was moving in small windows. Nowhere near Dell’s display of promotional images.

Like so much Alienware’s Concept UFO, A game-changing PC like the switch that was first introduced two years ago, Nyx may not see the light of day. But we can see what is in the future, as the UFO controller used shows Nyx. The concept of a game server in the end can make this move easier from your device. That’s what we can already do with Steam’s Remote Play feature, but maybe Dell can make it easier to play all of your themes in your home. The company says it is also exploring ways to run four games at once, as well as ways to collect all of your titles, regardless of where you set them.
