For those of you subscribed to the StreamMyGame web-based service offered for PS3 users, you might be happy to know that you can now run games off the free Linux Player offered for it.

This was promised by StreamMyGame a while back when the service first went online and is now currently in full swing for PS3 consoles running on Linux. Check out more details about this online streaming service after the jump!

 

Imagine being able to play high-end games you aren't normally able to run on your PC. Actually, this is quite possible now with a web-based service being offered by StreamMyGame through a games-sharing site and a software plug-in which can remotely play games left by posters who leave hypertext links of their software on the site.

This new service is currently available for games compatible with Windows XP, Vista and games based on DirectX8, DirectX9, DirectX10 and OpenGL formats. The company plans to extend the capabilities of the service to a Linux platform, enabling PC games to be played remotely on PS3 and other web-based devices such as DVD players, set top boxes, networked media devices and even mobile phones.

Richard Faria, CEO of StreamMyGame, had this to say about the new web service they are availing:

We are embarking on a new paradigm in the gaming industry fuelled by advances in computer hardware, network speeds and the want of gamers to have more freedom. We network the power of their main PC so it can be used to play high end games on other PCs and laptops around the home. I believe the demand for high resolutions will drive the sales of high end PC hardware

The Linux version will have an estimated release date by the fourth quarter of this year. Other practical applications of the web service include file sharing, as well as other practical streaming PC applications such as sharing live videos that are medical, geographical, architectural, automotive, scientific and multimedia in nature.
