Strategic partnership with OnLive
The GAME Group plc ('GAME'), Europe's leading retailer of pc and
video games, is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership
with OnLive, the cloud gaming pioneer and on-demand video games
service.
GAME will be OnLive's first global strategic retail partner,
introducing the OnLive(R) Game Service to millions of customers in
the UK and eventually across Europe and elsewhere, starting with
its ecommerce sites game.co.uk and gamestation.co.uk later this
year.
OnLive's products and digital service offerings will be extended
to the Group's 615 UK stores and integrated with the Group's
loyalty schemes, the GAME Reward Card and Gamestation Elite
card.
Ian Shepherd, CEO of GAME Group commented:
"We are delighted to be partnering with OnLive. It will bring a
totally new cloud based gaming platform to the UK customer. Through
our websites and the teams in our stores we will introduce the
OnLive service to millions of customers, and allow them to use cash
and reward card points to buy games on OnLive. Today's announcement
demonstrates again GAME Group's dedication to supporting innovation
in gaming."
Steve Perlman, Founder and CEO of OnLive, said:
"GAME Group is an ideal strategic launch partner for OnLive in
the UK, and we could not be more excited about the relationship.
GAME has a close one-to-one connection with gamers in the UK, and
OnLive provides a unique offering that, on the day of launch,
reaches almost all gamers in the UK instantly through their
broadband connection, whether on a TV, PC or Mac, and soon on iPad
and Android tablets. The OnLive-GAME relationship will bring an
unprecedented level of choice, convenience and value for UK gamers,
whether through the Internet or in a retail store."
