How, what, when? Let’s answer those questions now.ĭeveloped by French start up, Blade, Shadow is a virtual gaming machine, that is housed within a very large data centre somewhere in Europe, that allows you to play the games you want, via your low-end device, anywhere in the world. Shadow is a virtual, cloud based, high-end gaming pc, that you can access and use, at the highest of settings, for a flat rate of £26.95 a month (contract free).
