Bringing big-screen gaming to every living room
Available now on Samsung TVs
& Amazon Fire TV!
Our platform is now live on Samsung TVs (US) and on Amazon Fire TV (UK), along with our debut game Rivals Arena.
Preparing for the next paradigm shift: Cloud gaming
So far, the gaming industry has simply adapted existing games to the cloud, shifting traditional experiences to a new setting.
We are not just adapting; we are pioneering. We bring a cloud-first platform designed for game developers to open a new frontier in gaming – smart TVs. We are all about democratizing big-screen gaming, making it accessible to players without gigabyte internet connections and game controllers at hand.
Our free-to-play model introduces a latency-friendly, buffered stream that delivers smooth gaming with instant playability. With our innovative platform, developers can effortlessly create games and unlock exciting new revenue streams through mobile-linked performance ads and in-app purchases – options that were previously out of reach on the smart TV platform.
Say goodbye to traditional controllers
Forget extra hardware. With a simple QR code scan on your TV, your mobile device becomes the ultimate controller – no downloads necessary.
Players enjoy a personal second screen, delivering unique content to each individual. This multi-screen gaming setup extends the experience beyond the TV and supports adding mobile interface to your existing game or creating totally new game concepts.
Imagine for example richer, more immersive content in card games, board games, and social deduction games, where hidden information is the game’s secret ingredient. Imagination is your limit!

Teaming up with Samsung to transform TV gaming in the US with our debut game, Rivals Arena
