Gaikai has singed a deal with Capcom that will see the publisher's games made available on its cloud gaming service in the US.
As well as being available through Gaikai's network, Capcom's games will also be playable through the publisher's own websites.
For those not in the know, Gaikai founder Dave Perry describes Gaikai as "a revolutionary new technology that lets you play any game online in your browser".
Gaikai senior VP of interactive entertainment Robert Stevenson said: "Capcom produces some of the industry's most unique franchises, consistently leading their genres with the highest quality. As a forward-thinking publisher who has great success in the digital space, we're excited to be working with them on such properties."
Perry admitted this week that latency is "the biggest elephant in the room" when it comes to cloud gaming, but says the firm has found "many, many ways" to limit it.
Last month, Gaikai signed a deal to stream games over Walmart.com, the online division of the world's biggest retailer.
