Most interesting is newfound USB passthrough support. LiquidSky’s service is also receiving a fresh coat of paint-if you look at the MacBook in the image at the top of this article, you’ll see the overhauled interface. For one thing, the platform will get upgraded to support DirectX 12 games via the Windows Store. LiquidSky’s rolling out some handy-sounding new features alongside the new Elite virtual PC and ad-supported gaming.

LiquidSky says that watching six minutes of ads gives you enough Sk圜redits to play for free for an hour, presumably on a Gamer tier Sk圜omputer, and you can earn enough to stream three hours of games every day. I haven’t seen the system in action, but it sounds similar to Twitch and its system of handing out Bits for watching interactive ads. While you can buy Sk圜redits using the plans listed below-LiquidSky says the $9.99 per month plan gets you 4800 Sk圜redits, which equates to 80 hours of gameplay-the big news here is that the service now lets you earn those credits for free by watching and engaging with ads from a curated list of advertisers, too. What are Sk圜redits, you ask, since they’re the key to this whole system? They’re LiquidSky’s virtual currency, used to buy time on those virtual PCs. For context, here’s a peek at all the options available:
New to LiquidSky’s levels of performance is an “Elite” Sk圜omputer that offers four times as much oomph as the entry-level “Gamer” version, and it’s capable of running any game on Ultra quality at 1080p and 60-plus frames per second. That speed should help you get into games faster, since they’ll download quickly.
While I haven’t had a chance to try the service myself, the company says it offers extremely low latency as well as up to 1Gbps download and 100Mbps upload speeds on your Sk圜omputer. Your games are downloaded to your Sk圜omputer, then they’re streamed from the cloud to the device you’re using, with the data pumped out by LiquidSky’s 13 global data servers.
