OnLive's Revolutionary Cloud Gaming Service

London (UK), August 2011 - OnLive, the pioneer of cloud gaming, has announced that its breakthrough instant-play video game service will launch on 22 September at the opening of the 2011 Eurogamer Expo London. Over 100 top-tier games will instantly be available for play via almost any broadband Internet connection throughout the UK on HDTV, PC, Mac, and iPad and Android tablets.




Eurogamer Expo attendees will not only experience four days of OnLive hands-on, sneak previews of upcoming games, and upcoming OnLive tech, but will be eligible for unprecedented promotions, including thousands of free OnLive ® Game Systems, enabling instant OnLive play on any HDTV.


OnLive membership is free and provides instant demos of any game, exclusive massive spectating with voice chat of any live game in play on OnLive whether in the UK or around the world, Brag Clip ® videos of the most awesome (or most hilarious) gaming moments, and Facebook Brag Clip postings and notifications.


Over 100 games, including top titles released the same second as consoles and PCs, are available under a range of pricing plans. Among them are OnLive's flat-rate PlayPack bundle with over seventy games, rentals, and full purchases, as well as free try-before-buy demos, spectating, and trailers, all with full Web-based parental controls.


Free sign up is available. Priority access with almost any PC or Mac starts 22 September via a small browser download, on the iPad or Android tablet via the free app, or on any HDTV via the OnLive Game System.


"OnLive will utterly transform gaming in the UK", said OnLive Founder and CEO Steve Perlman. "No discs, big downloads or specialised hardware are needed. OnLive gives you the latest games instantly, anytime, anywhere on HDTV, PC, Mac, as well as iPad, Android tablets. High-performance gaming will be as accessible as streaming video and will offer unique social features such as massive spectating with voice chat and Facebook integration."
