Global publishers including Ubisoft, Riot Games, and Funcom are confirmed to be part of the project, which is currently in beta testing on My.Games servers.My.Games Cloud is based on the technological capabilities of My.Games, utilizing the high-quality service infrastructure of Mail.ru Group with the company's R&D approach for cloud-based solutions.
