Case Study: Shadow achieves sub-25ms, lag-free cloud gaming with Digital Realty (Interxion)

Dense Connectivity Drives Optimized User Experience for Shadow

Shadow is a cloud-gaming service that turns low‑end devices into high‑end PCs, enabling users to play demanding games from any screen. To deliver instant, high‑quality gameplay, Shadow faced the challenge of minimising latency and preventing lags, buffers and stream drops across a global user base.

Shadow colocated high‑density compute in Interxion’s Amsterdam and Marseille campuses and connected directly to top networks to shorten paths to users and internet exchanges. The result is sub‑25 ms round‑trip latency, highly resilient streaming with fewer drops and the scalability to expand across Europe — delivered through a trusted partner with 24/7 support.
