5G optimized game rendering

A method performed by a virtual environment rendering engine for remote rendering of a virtual environment for a client device, the method comprising:

• receiving an indication of network latency between the virtual environment rendering engine and the client device;
• receiving an indication of a client viewport field of view for the client device;
• based on the network latency, determining an adjusted viewport field of view;
• generating a projection mapped 360 degree video frame, wherein the projection mapped 360 degree video frame is rendered in the virtual environment, wherein a pixel density within the adjusted viewport field of view is greater than a pixel density outside the adjusted viewport field of view, and wherein the adjusted viewport field of view increases in dimension as the network latency increases;
• encoding the projection mapped 360 degree video frame;
• and
• transmitting the encoded projection mapped 360 degree video frame to the client device.
