Abstract

In various examples, a user may access or acquire an application to download to the user's local computing device. Upon accessing the application, a local instance of the application may begin downloading to the computing device, and the user may be given the option to play a cloud-hosted instance of the application. If the user selects to play a hosted instance of the application, the cloud-hosted instance of the application may begin streaming while the local instance of the application downloads to the user's computing device in the background. Application state data may be stored and associated with the user during gameplay such that, once the local instance of the application has downloaded, the user may switch from the hosted instance of the application to the local instance to begin playing locally, with the application state information accounted for.
