Piepacker is something we previewed recently, a game streaming / cloud gaming service designed around retro games that enables you to seamlessly play online with others. It's now in Open Beta. With the Open Beta, it's open to everyone. It's free right now too, enabling you to play 60+ games. Although, with a caveat that it currently only works in Chromium based browsers (although Firefox is supposed to be supported eventually).

What can you do with it? Well, apart from playing games (obviously), it gives retro games a fresh new way to be played. It integrated voice and video chat, proper modern controller support and it's fast too.

Check out our preview we did recently:

Honestly, still seriously impressed with it. The interface leaves a lot to be desired with not enough space for the title list but I'm sure they will improve that over time. We did speak to them on it, and apparently it's been a common complaint. Everything works though!

You can play it now on the Piepacker Website.
