JioGames is a free-to-use gaming platform by Jio Platforms Limited. It contains its own gaming library, a streaming platform, and a matchmaking lobby all in one. You only need to install this app and you can access all of its content without the need to download and install games onto your device.

With JioGames, you can play PC games on your mobile phone. Similarly, you can also watch esports events or find players to play with. Aside from minor optimization issues for gaming and controls, the app works just fine. It’s like Steam and Twitch rolled into one.

Playing PC games on mobile

JioGames is divided into three sections. JioGames Cloud lets you access its cloud-based repository. It doesn’t distribute the games so you don’t download them. Just choose the title you want and hit play. When playing, note that it automatically maps controls to a standard touchscreen layout, which can make it challenging for some games. It supports smartphone controllers, which makes the experience more enjoyable.

The next part of the app is the JioGames Watch, which contains esports coverage and game streams from other players. Layout-wise, it looks a lot like other streaming platforms, which makes it immediately intuitive for most players. With JioGames Arena, you can join casual and professional gaming tournaments with rewards mostly in the form of crowns, the platform’s in-app currency.

As it offers a lot of content and activity for users to enjoy, matchmaking is easy for online games. The only concern with the JioGames Cloud is its controls. Some PC games are not mapped well based on the default control settings. Additionally, players have reported issues with limited controller support. For example, pressing multiple buttons doesn’t all register in the game.

Your one-stop gaming app

Overall, JioGames is an impressive gaming platform. It lets you play PC games on your mobile device without the need to download those titles. Additionally, it even has its own streaming platform that works just as well as any other similar app. You can even go and play with other people in the community through the Arena. Aside from minor controller problems in the game, it’s a definite must-try.
