Today, our catalog features more than 1,000 games, supported by 150+ licensing partners, including world-renowned publishers such as Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft and Konami, alongside a diverse range of indie studios.

Available in 65+ countries, our platform reaches players worldwide through partnerships with major telecom operators, device manufacturers, OTT platforms and media companies.

From our early public launch to our expansion onto Smart TVs, the introduction of dedicated publisher passes and the arrival of major strategic investment, each milestone has strengthened our position in the cloud gaming ecosystem. Our technology and partnerships enable us to bring interactive entertainment to more screens and audiences, while continuing to explore new opportunities for growth and innovation.
