Disclosed method of operation for a twitch game or application hosting service system. The hosting service system is comprised of one or more hosting service centres (210) that include a plurality of servers (402) executing one or more twitch video games or applications. The servers (402) are configured to generate one or more uncompressed streams of streaming interactive video from the twitch games or applications. The operation method of the hosting service system includes receiving, at a particular hosting service centre (210), a communication over a network (410) from a client device (415). The communication includes a request to play a selected twitch video game or application. The client device (415) is associated with a user and located geographically remote from the particular hosting service centre (210). The method also includes executing, at the particular hosting service centre (210), the selected twitch video game or application on one or more of the servers (402), thereby generating an uncompressed streaming interactive video stream. This video stream is then compressed with low latency at the particular hosting service centre (210), thereby producing a compressed streaming interactive video stream. This compressed streaming interactive video stream is transmitted to the client device (415) over a network (410). The compressed streaming interactive video stream has a sufficiently low latency such that the user has a perception that the selected twitch video game or application is responding instantly. |
