With SHADOW NEO, cloud computing pioneer SHADOW is launching a new generation of cloud PCs – more powerful, more flexible and more versatile than ever before. Officially launched on June 16, 2025 in Europe and North America, NEO replaces the previous “Boost” offering and sets new standards in terms of performance and user freedom. For gamers, creatives and tech professionals, this means RTX power in the cloud, available anytime, anywhere.
SHADOW NEO is not just a simple upgrade – it is a big step towards a fully-fledged, cross-platform cloud PC solution that is geared towards the actual needs of users. Whether high-end gaming with ray tracing, professional media editing or mobile productivity: NEO delivers the performance you expect from a modern high-end PC – without any hardware at home.
- Up to 150% more gaming performance compared to the previous Boost version
- 200% more power for professional software applications
- Complete Windows PC access – install, modify, configure as desired
- Broad device compatibility – works on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, browsers and smart TVs
A new era for cloud gaming and cloud computing
SHADOW NEO sets new technical standards and clearly positions itself as a fully-fledged replacement for physical gaming and work PCs. Equipped with modern hardware, NEO supports the latest graphics technologies such as ray tracing and DLSS and therefore offers razor-sharp visuals with stable performance – even in 2K resolution. Particularly exciting for gamers is the ability to access all well-known gaming platforms such as Steam, Epic Games Store or Battle.net – without restrictions.
But NEO is more than just a gaming PC in the cloud. The upgrade also brings tangible benefits for creatives and power users in areas such as 3D modeling, video production or architecture. Software such as Blender, DaVinci Resolve or AutoCAD runs smoothly on any device – from MacBook and tablets to smart TVs. This makes the SHADOW PC a mobile workstation for professionals who need flexibility and performance in one system.
There is also good news for existing customers: All existing Boost users will be automatically switched to NEO at no extra cost. New users will receive NEO for €32.99 per month – a price that is clearly on a par with a fully-fledged gaming PC given the performance on offer, but without any maintenance, updates or acquisition costs.
Maximum freedom for every use case
A decisive advantage over many other cloud gaming providers: SHADOW is not a closed system with a limited selection of games. Instead, users get access to a complete Windows PC that they can set up freely. Install your own software, use mods, connect external controllers or peripherals – anything is possible. Even complex setups for streamers or developers can be mapped.
NEO is also impressively device-independent: it works on almost any platform – from outdated MacBooks and Android tablets to smart TV browsers. This also makes the solution attractive for hybrid working environments and travel, as only a stable internet connection is required.
In terms of technology, SHADOW builds on almost a decade of experience in the cloud PC segment. Since 2017, the service has reached over 700,000 users in 14 countries – and the trend is rising. With NEO, the company aims to significantly expand this base and further conquer the professional market.
Conclusion: SHADOW NEO is more than just a gaming PC in the cloud
SHADOW NEO marks the start of a new phase in cloud computing – more flexible, more powerful and more accessible than ever before. For €32.99 per month, NEO offers a real alternative to the classic gaming or workstation PC. It is particularly interesting for anyone who wants to work or play from anywhere without compromising on performance. Registration is now open – and the cloud is already waiting.
