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.

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. During surges of players from around the world, Tencent Cloud's servers dynamically scale and intelligently manage traffic, ensuring a seamless and smooth gaming experience for all users.

As large models become increasingly integrated into gaming industry applications, Tencent Cloud's solutions—powered by its Hunyuan—has developed a comprehensive suite of AI design tools and services for game developers. These tools enable an end-to-end workflow for game asset creation, featuring capabilities such as text-to-3D and image-to-3D modeling. Additionally, with platforms like Tencent Cloud TI-ONE and a reinforcement learning platform tailored for virtual character training, developers can now shorten the time required to train NPC behavior from several months to just a few days.

For example, Kuro Games' open-world action RPG "Wuthering Waves" leverages Tencent Cloud's GoSkinning technology—powered by Tencent's advanced expertise in art asset creation and AIGC capabilities—to intelligently and automatically skin a diverse range of characters and costumes. By automating vertex weight assignment, this solution significantly reduces the manual effort typically required for hand skinning, greatly increasing production efficiency and reducing the manual adjustment workload for animators.

The third-person shooter game "Kalpa of Universe", developed by iDreamSky, has been launched to players worldwide. To navigate the complex and diverse challenges of global game publishing, Tencent Cloud provided comprehensive support covering compliance, networking, and architecture, ensuring a seamless rollout across all regions. Backed by over 400 professional certifications and more than 20 compliance accreditations both domestically and internationally, Tencent Cloud leverages its robust technical expertise to empower companies to expand confidently into overseas markets.

In the area of security, Tencent's Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) delivers comprehensive game security services by leveraging AI and big data technologies to detect and prevent cheating behaviors, including emerging cheats such as DMA (Direct Memory Access) and AI-based cheats. Leveraging nearly 20 years of anti-cheat experience and a vast database of cheat samples, ACE has fostered a fair and secure gaming environment for millions of players across hundreds of games worldwide. For instance, "The Bornless", a PC action horror First Person Shooter (FPS) game developed by Cathedral Studios, has adopted ACE to tackle diverse online security challenges and ensure a fair, competitive experience for its ever-growing player community.

Drawing on years of deep expertise and industry-leading technologies in gaming, Tencent Cloud delivers comprehensive, full-lifecycle cloud services to game developers worldwide. From high-performance global deployment networks and specialized game servers to advanced security solutions, AI-powered creative tools, real-time operations platforms, and data analytics, Tencent Cloud is dedicated to being the most trusted technology partner for game developers, empowering them to overcome the challenges of globalization and capture the opportunities of the AI era.

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

Revolutionizing the All-In-One Digital Hunting Experience

HANGZHOU, China, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunting is evolving. The modern hunter is rapidly adapting from traditional optics to totally immersive digital viewing, and HIKMICRO is leading the way with the HABROK 4K 2.0 to deliver the ultimate all-in-one hunting experience.

 

HIKMICRO is committed to constant product refinement based on technological excellence and feedback from real-world hunters. A true pioneer in the digital hunting market, HIKMICRO spearheaded the all-in-one revolution with HABROK 4K in 2024. This device set a new standard by combining thermal and CMOS technologies in a single unit.

HABROK'S all-in-one ethos enables hunters to quickly and clearly spot their quarry's unmissable heat signature. This is backed up by pin-sharp full-color viewing for clear identification not just in daylight but also in twilight. Add detailed infrared night vision for clear viewing and confident identification in total darkness and you have the complete package – all in an easy-to-carry unit that looks and handles much like traditional binoculars.

These pioneering technological advantages work in harmony with the hunter's natural instincts to unlock the secrets of the hunt with an all-in-one solution. The launch of HABROK 4K 2.0 to the European market on December 15^th 2025 elevates this concept to another level.

A HIKMICRO product manager explains: "HABROK 4K 2.0 builds on a trusted legacy to lead the digital hunt. The first incarnation of this device revealed the potential for all-in-one observation – now our experts have worked closely with hunters to refine HABROK for smooth viewing, smarter operation and an even more intuitive user experience. HABROK 4K 2.0 is the next chapter in binocular innovation, building on our brand values to deliver unparalleled viewing at an accessible price for all. Clearer, smarter, steadier – the next generation is here."

Next Generation Performance for Digital Hunting with Ultimate Confidence

HABROK 4K 2.0 has been developed to deliver major advancements where hunters need them most. This new generation all-in-one solution optimizes performance in the key areas of clarity, control and comfort.

Rear focus and fast thermal/digital switch for single-handed superiority

Every advancement in HABROK 4K 2.0 has been made for intuitive, one-handed operation – leaving one hand free to keep a secure hold on your hunting gear. These developments include a rear focus wheel which sits closer to the eyepiece, giving hunters quick access with the familiar feel of classic optical binoculars. The hunter can now quickly bring the subject into sharp relief with minimal movement and without having to adjust their hold.

HABROK 4K 2.0 also boasts a new Thermal/Digital switch. This allows the hunter to instantly shift between the two viewing channels in a seamless transition. This fast switch from spotting a heat signature to detailed full-color or infrared viewing is another example of the synergy between technological advancement and instinctive control. Step confidently into digital hunting with familiar, intuitive operation.

Sharper, Smoother, Steadier Viewing

HIKMICRO's image stabilization algorithm and freely adjustable magnification in both thermal and digital channels enable hunters to zoom in and out seamlessly while maintaining a steady, crystal-clear view with no shake, no blur and no lag. From a wide view for scanning the open countryside for activity to zooming in tight for clear identification, HABROK 4K 2.0 keeps you in the picture.

HIKMICRO's shutterless technology has been added to the <18mK NETD thermal channel on HABROK 4K 2.0. The result is uninterrupted visuals and a smoother, quieter viewing experience. The risk of missing a vital moment is eliminated as you stay fully focused on the hunt.

Intelligent Upgrades for Precise Shot Placement

The new ballistic calculation system on HABROK 4K 2.0 keeps every shot on target. This game-changing innovation uses distance readings from the laser rangefinder and pre-set ammunition parameters to instantly provide a precise aiming solution – even hunters using traditional scopes can take pinpoint shots with total confidence. Previously only associated with expensive premium optics, HABROK 4K 2.0 puts this digital advantage in the hands of all hunters.

Leading the Digital Hunting Journey with the All-In-One HABROK 4K 2.0

Advancements incorporated into HABROK 4K 2.0 underline HIKMICRO's commitment to leading and redefining the digital optics revolution. We take the best from the traditional, then add our technological expertise and feedback from real hunters to deliver new and improved hunting solutions you can have absolute confidence in.

The first generation HABROK set a new standard, but the journey continues for HIKMICRO and our hunting family. HABROK 4K 2.0 builds on that success with simplified operation, improved viewing, enhanced precision and total adaptability. This versatile all-in-one optic has raised the bar once again.

These refinements are inspired by the insight of real hunters – the people who use and trust this equipment in all weather and all environments. With their real-world input, we have made every function smarter and smoother. The new HABROK 4K 2.0 gives hunters the freedom and confidence to face nature's toughest challenges on their own terms and with the advantage of unrivalled all-in-one viewing.

HIKMICRO is leading the digital hunting journey, but it is not about replacing traditional ways – it is about building on them and empowering hunters to see more, trust more and hunt smarter.

HIKMICRO has a vision for technological innovation driven by user needs, creating the finest products with universal appeal and bringing the essence of modern hunting to life. As at the heart of every innovation and improvement, lies a simple belief from HIKMICRO – Trust Your Journey. HABROK 4K 2.0 does that and more.
