Summary - J.1613 (12/2025) - The capability framework and requirements of cloud gaming smart terminals

It is necessary to develop a Recommendation to ensure that cloud gaming smart terminals from different manufacturers can work seamlessly with various cloud gaming platforms, providing a consistent user experience across multiple devices. This also helps maintain a high-quality gaming experience for users, regardless of the terminal used. Additionally, a standardized approach simplifies meeting requirements for cloud gaming services across different regions, as it is more likely to gain universal acceptance.
Recommendation ITU-T J.1613 defines the technical requirements at each layer, ultimately promoting the uniformity and standardization of the capability framework for cloud gaming smart terminals. It also serves as a reference guide for manufacturers.
Focusing on cable television networks, the Recommendation specifies terminal-side capabilities and requirements to ensure interoperability with cloud gaming service platforms, and complements the existing Recommendation ITU-T J.1311. It supports the uniformity and standardization of cloud gaming terminals within the remit of the ITU-T J-series.
