Cloud gaming is quickly becoming the norm, accelerated by the advent of folks working from home and staying at home due to global confinement measures. Shadow released some rather incredible numbers, showing that cloud gaming in the U.S. has grown over 50% since the beginning of March, and people using Shadow's VMs to more effectively work from home have risen over 30%, as well.

What's particularly interesting about Shadow's figures is the increase in players during the day. Shadow shows that gamers typically play in the evening or at night but, since the world started slowing down a bit and more people are at home during the day, cloud gaming usage before 5 pm in each time zone has also risen by more than 50%. Aside from cloud gaming, folks have been using Shadow's VMs to be more productive during the day, showing a 30% growth in usage on weekdays.
