About

How it all started

Challenge

We were tasked to revolutionize a Cloud Gaming mobile experience solution for Sora Stream Android users that would allow them to play from anywhere in the world without having expensive hardware.

Different devices

The client had prior solutions for web and cloud solutions, but the mobile app and TV app expertise needed to be included. That’s why Sora Stream onboarded the Chili Labs team into the project as mobile UI/UX design and Android development experts.

Cloud Gaming is the Future

According to the latest research by market pioneers, the size of cloud gaming globally reached USD 0.47 billion in 2020. It is expected that the cloud gaming market will reach 8 billion EUR worldwide in 2025.

Process

We partnered with Ludium Lab to build their first-ever mobile app for Android following the best Agile project approaches

Early User Testing

We care about user experience, so we did alpha and beta tests to properly understand if a user is satisfied with the solution and what changes should be made for a better experience.

Design

Ludium Lab design team had their vision and ideas for the overall app style. With our experience in mobile interface design and their vision in symbiosis, we have created an outstanding solution with the best user experience.
