With all of the game news that circulated around E3 earlier this month, an interesting announcement slipped under the radar. NexStreaming announced that it has released NexPlayer, a multiscreen player SDK, for the console.
According to the announcement, HLS and DASH streaming is now possible within Switch apps. “OTT providers will be able to offer their Live & VOD video services to almost 80 million users worldwide and gaming publishers will be able to include exciting video contents inside their Nintendo Switch games,” the notice adds.
Here’s the press release in full:
NexStreaming announced the latest addition to their Player SDK family, the Nintendo Switch SDK, becoming the first player to enable video streaming for the popular video game devices.
