Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present invention provide a video game preview. The video game preview may run on a game client or on a game server associvated with a game service. A current preview experience is maintained by causing the client or server to access a central preview file that defines the preview experience. The preview may be provided by the game service or on the game client depending on circumstances. In one embodiment, if game code for the preview is present locally on the client, then the client provides the preview. If the video game code is not available locally at the game client, then the preview is either generated by the game service and streamed to the game client or the code is downloaded to the game client to enable the client to generate the preview.
