- Anti-cheat is software that detects cheating programs in online games and blocks the players who use them, for example by banning an account from secure servers.
- Backward compatibility
- Backward compatibility is a console's ability to play games and use accessories made for an earlier console, so a library carries over when you upgrade.
- Cloud gaming
- Cloud gaming runs a game on a remote server and streams the picture to your device over the internet, so you can play without installing the game or owning hardware that could run it.
