Abstract: With the fast advancement of innovation and plans of action, distributed computing has been generally utilized as a mature registering worldview. Distributed computing gives a layered assistance framework with its strong figuring and stockpiling capacities, and the rise of 5G and edge processing has made it conceivable to furnish end clients with advantageous, multi-stage, admittance to any overall setting. Cloud games are the distributed computing applications that have arisen in later years and are thought of as a "executioner". Nonetheless, due to the current game defer control of cloud gaming has not reached an OK level, and in view of equipment virtualization and cost contemplations, cloud gaming related advances are still in the investigation stage. In view of the above foundation, we first presented the foundation and underpinning of cloud games. Then we dissect the benefits of cloud gaming and the current issues. Also, this paper endeavors to give answers for related issues in light of 5G and edge processing innovation, and at the same time summarizes the research results and conclusions
