Tencent Cloud Named Leader in Omdia's Global Cloud Platforms for Games 2025 Report

HONG KONG, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Omdia, a renowned global market research authority, has recently released its " Omdia Market Radar: Cloud Platforms for Games – 2025" report. Building on its previous recognition as a "Leader" in Omdia's 2024 report on cloud platforms for games in Asia Pacific and Oceania, Tencent Cloud —the cloud business of global leading technology company Tencent—has, for the first time, been positioned as a "Leader" in Omdia's global report for cloud platforms for games. This achievement is attributed to Tencent Cloud's cutting-edge technological capabilities and strong market leadership. According to the report, Tencent Cloud demonstrated outstanding performance across seven key capability dimensions. Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President of Tencent Cloud International, said: "We are proud to be recognized by Omdia as a global leader in cloud platforms for games. This achievement reflects our dedication to driving innovation and equipping developers with world-class infrastructure and solutions tailored for the gaming industry. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as AI & machine learning, Tencent Cloud is committed to delivering secure, scalable, and immersive gaming experiences for players everywhere. As we continue to partner with developers and industry leaders across the globe, we are excited to shape the future of gaming and power the next wave of industry growth and transformation." The report offers a comprehensive evaluation of global cloud platforms, analyzing their strengths across seven core capability dimensions: game development, game servers, multiplayer services, LiveOps, database & analytics, AI & machine learning, as well as partners and integrations. Notably, this is the first time Omdia has included AI & machine learning as evaluation criteria, providing a more nuanced perspective on the technological maturity and industry adaptability of cloud platforms. In this assessment, Tencent Cloud achieved the highest rating of "Advanced" in game servers, multiplayer services, and AI & machine learning, while also delivering exceptional performance in game development, LiveOps, and database & analytics. Through its robust technical capabilities and significant industry influence, Tencent Cloud was recognized as one of the global leaders in cloud platforms for games in 2025. For the gaming industry, Tencent Cloud has established a global, high-performance network infrastructure and developed end-to-end solutions tailored specifically for gaming. These solutions are particularly robust in areas such as game servers, multiplayer services, and AI & machine learning. Tencent Cloud offers industry-leading game server solutions supported by a global data center network with 21 geographic regions and 56 availability zones. These solutions provide game companies with low-latency, high scalability, and robust DDoS protection, making them especially effective at managing the fluctuating workloads typical of game servers.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is set to accelerate its digital transformation by tapping Chinese expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, following a landmark collaboration spearheaded by Ramssol Group Bhd with Tencent Cloud and supported by Equinix. The Malaysia-China Tech & Trade Cooperation Exchange Conference 2025, held in Sheraton Petaling Jaya today, underscored the nation's ambitions to become a regional hub for next-generation technologies while deepening bilateral ties with China. The initiative will introduce Tencent Cloud's advanced AI and cloud solutions to the Malaysian market through Ramssol's subsidiary, Rams Solutions, targeting retail and service industries seeking to automate operations, enhance customer engagement and adopt data-driven strategies for greater competitiveness across Asean markets. Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching, who officiated the event, said Malaysia's leadership as Asean Chair in 2025 positioned it uniquely to drive regional innovation and stability. She highlighted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's role in brokering peace between Thailand and Cambodia over a border dispute as an example of Malaysia's diplomatic and technological leadership. 'Technologies such as AI, smart communication, and cloud computing are redefining how economies grow, connect and innovate,' Teo said. 'Malaysia is proud to play a pivotal role in this journey. With our strategic position in Southeast Asia, a growing digital economy, and a future-ready talent pool, we remain committed to driving innovation that benefits all.' She stressed the need for alliances 'anchored on trust, mutual respect and shared ambitions' to build an open, secure and future-focused digital ecosystem that supports investment and long-term growth. Teo also outlined ongoing initiatives under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, including technical standards by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to ensure communications equipment and services meet safety, interoperability and reliability benchmarks. Malaysia's broader digital push includes the Online Safety Act 2025, which mandates platforms to curb harmful content such as scams, cyberbullying and child exploitation, while maintaining innovation and free expression. She cited campaigns like Kempen Internet Selamat reaching over 43,000 participants in 348 schools and cashless adoption drives at Nadi Centres benefiting 1.8 million users as examples of initiatives fostering safer and more inclusive digital participation. Broadband penetration currently stands at 130.8% for mobile and 48.4% for fixed lines. Ramssol Group chairman Datuk Abdul Harith Abdullah said the collaboration reflects the group's long-term strategy to position Malaysia as a bridge for cross-border technology exchange and innovation in Asean. 'These collaborative events are more than just knowledge-sharing platforms; they are strategic gateways to future growth,' he said. 'By aligning Malaysia's digital ambitions with China's tech expertise, we are paving the way for sustained innovation, enhanced bilateral trade and scalable transformation across Asean.' The conference also showcased Tencent Cloud's real-time communication platforms, unmanned retail solutions, automated parking systems and intelligent media processing tools, technologies that have transformed consumer experiences in China and are now being introduced to Malaysian enterprises. Equinix's participation ensures scalable, secure digital infrastructure for cross-border solutions, with analysts noting robust infrastructure as vital for seamless technology integration. Teo described the initiative as a model for international cooperation where the Malaysia–China relationship continues to stand as a model where innovation drives value and collaboration leads to mutual prosperity.

This marks an expansion from a 15-hour service window to round-the-clock availability in the company's development strategy within the country. The company has also increased its Robotaxi testing period to 24 hours a day in Beijing city of China, building upon its foundation of more than 50 million kilometres of autonomous testing globally. These tests, which span various traffic and lighting conditions, are said to be crucial for assessing the system's real-world performance. employs a multi-sensor fusion architecture that combines a 128-beam light detection and ranging (LiDAR), eight-megapixel cameras, and four-dimensional (4D) millimetre-wave radar. These will deliver 360-degree perception in low-light or nighttime conditions, where traditional vision-only systems may falter. The company's use of LiDAR and radar provides essential redundancy, enhancing the detection of low-contrast objects and mitigating the effects of headlight glare. This ensures safer navigation on the roads that are dimly lit or unlit. The advanced autonomous driving software stack, built on the "PonyWorld foundation model and virtual driver" architecture, is deployed in the seventh-generation Robotaxi fleet. It enables the precise detection of road elements and pedestrians up to 650 meters away, even in adverse weather conditions, due to a sensor self-cleaning system. In April 2025, collaborated with Tencent Cloud and Smart Industries Group, the cloud business division of Tencent Holding, to advance autonomous driving technology. The following month, the company entered a strategic collaboration with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) to bring its advanced robotaxi fleet to the region, marking a step in the company's worldwide expansion efforts.

Tencent's new AI-powered programming tool fully automates application development

Tencent Holdings this week commenced beta testing on CodeBuddy IDE, a smart programming tool for software developers that provides artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language support for designing, building and deploying new applications. The tool from Tencent Cloud – the AI and cloud computing unit of Shenzhen -based Tencent – underwent a closed 24-hour test on Wednesday with more than 50,000 invited participants, according to a Tencent post on WeChat . Beta testing involved real-world users, outside the CodeBuddy development team, who examined the pre-release version of the new programming tool. In programming, IDE stands for integrated development environment – essentially, a one-stop platform for developers to make use of various software tools to write, test and debug code. CodeBuddy, according to Tencent, features a fully automated 'conversation-is-programming' approach. That enables even a non-technical user to complete the entire development process – from product concept and design to deployment – using natural language dialogue and AI 'without writing a single line of code', which would significantly boost efficiency in building applications. Tencent's foray into sophisticated, AI-powered tools for developers reflected the significant advances being made by Chinese tech companies. According to Alibaba, agentic AI coding was 'transforming software development by enabling more autonomous, efficient and accessible programming workflows'. AI agents are software programs that are capable of autonomously performing tasks on behalf of a user or another system.
