In this video, we walk through the real-world situation described above, in which one of our team members wants to create a persistent shared gaming experience with a friend. To show you how to do this, we’ve created a video that takes you through the steps to set up a private virtual, multiplayer game server with Google Cloud, with no prior experience required.

With a multiplayer server in the cloud, you can solve this problem and create persistent, shared access that doesn’t depend on your online status. You’re both having a great time-until you need to shut down your computer and the game world ceases to exist for everyone until you’re back online.

Imagine that you’re playing a video game with a friend, hosting the game on your own machine.
