OnLive To Expand Gaming Service In Europe

by Rainier on Aug. 28, 2014 @ 9:05 a.m. PDT

By distilling specialized game hardware out of the equation, OnLive will allow games to be played as a pure media experience on virtually any device, with the same flexibility and instant-play experience that we’ve come to expect from online video and music.

Cloud gaming provider OnLive confirmed the its Game Service will be made available in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, The Netherlands, and Ireland in Q4 2014.

Currently the OnLive Game Service is commercially available in the USA, Canada and UK. Since launching the new client Beta on March 5th for PC, Mac, Android tablets, consoles and smartphones, the company has been scaling up infrastructure and can now extend the OnLive Game Service into more countries, enabling full account sign-ups and access to OnLive’s CloudLift and PlayPack subscriptions.

“Since day one we’ve seen a sizeable chunk of traffic from these regions because of their great connectivity and bias towards our client platforms,” said Bruce Grove, OnLive’s General Manager. “That interest has continued to grow, and we’re close to completing the network operations necessary to deliver full services in these regions. Expect more announcements in the very near future.”

The OnLive subscription packages, which now feature over 300 console-quality action-adventure, FPS, strategy, simulation, MMO, racing and sports titles, will be charged in Euros and PayPal has been added as an additional service-wide payment method.
