The big black box is the Nyx server.

This story is part of thoseCNET covers the latest news on the most amazing technology coming soon.
advance thoseDell gave us a sneak peek into its vision of what a home gaming experience might look like in the near future. The Alienware Nyx concept inhabits a world where you can pause It is an electronic game or Guardians of the Galaxy in the living room and keep playing in your bedroom. Where you can play your games from storefronts like Steam or Epic and services like GeForce now or Xbox Cloud Games, all bundled into one app that works the same on TVs, phones, computers, and other devices. Where you can send a game session to your child to get help in the last boss fight. and more.
Yes, many of them are technically feasible at the moment, but Alienware hopes the Nyx will tie them together with more refinement and lower latency.
The prototype application we saw basically combines a game server, which is a gaming PC more or less on steroids, a smart console and software that ties them together. Noticeably absent is the console like Xbox Xbox X or S, PS5 Or a Nintendo Switch, because that method is a technically complex box of worms. And Alienware doesn’t want to replace a powered desktop or laptop computer, although server-mounted games may connect to a large screen directly.
The box itself will stop near your modem or router, connected directly to it via Ethernet and stream games installed on it or streamed from the cloud to your devices via Wi-Fi. Its purpose is to allow family members to play different games simultaneously (as well as multiplayer games together) without slowing down Wi-Fi or lagging input to a crawl.
The prototype we saw was a black monolithic tower with sharp edges that looked more like it came from the Razer design team than the Alienware. But if this server crosses the drawing board, you can bet it will look like one of the most typical organic Legend designs of all Alienware gear.
The console design appeared as part of the Alienware UFO concept that was carried at CES last year.

The console is key – almost literally. In Alienware Ideas, it holds your login information, your game library, when and where you left off, and in an ideal world, you’d discover affinity to continue playing seamlessly as you move from room to room.
Although the goal is ultimately to work with third-party consoles, it is likely that Alienware consoles will initially be used. what do you say? Does Alienware have its own console? Well, it’s been playing around with dramatic designs for a while, and we have to reconsider the design that was part of the company’s mobile fantasy games from CES last year, Alienware UFO concept.
This has never been achieved. Perhaps this will be, in one form or another.
