Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure comprise a content streaming system 120 that can stream content assets within the game environment. The content streaming system 120 can include a decoding module 124 that can decode content prior to streaming. The content streaming system 120 can stream the content asset to the environmental element during runtime without dynamically rendering the content asset during runtime, the decoded content asset can be applied as a textures on elements within the game environment. A content management module 122 can prioritize the order in which the content asset content is decoded and manage the process of streaming the content asset to the environmental elements during runtime. The content management module 122 can also dynamically select the content asset with an appropriate resolution to stream to the environmental element based on runtime gameplay information.
