Playruo lets you try game demos from your web browser

Playruo is a new French startup that lets you play game demos from your browser without having to install anything.

The appeal is clear: The game you’re playing runs in a data center near you, and the video output is directly streamed to your local device. In many ways, Playruo delivers on the original promise of Google’s Stadia: It lets you launch and play a video game from your web browser without having to install anything. After a 15-minute demo, players can get a link to add a game to their Steam wishlist, join a Discord server, or enter their email address to get more information.
