OnLive cloud gaming launches in UK


Gamers will gain access to nearly 150 top-tier titles on Thursday asOnLive, the on-demand cloud gaming service, launches in the UK.
Consumers can sign up for free at and stream triple-A games via almost any broadband Internet connection to their HDTV, PC or Mac. OnLive says the service will soon extend to iPad and Android tablets.
OnLive founder and CEO Steve Perlman says the cloud-gaming service can offer game experiences on virtually any connected device.
"OnLive is incredibly excited to bring instant-play, on-demand cloud gaming to the UK," said Perlman. "It's an entirely new way of experiencing top-tier video games, anywhere, anytime with awesome cloud-powered features and community unlike anything you've ever seen before."
Among the titles on offer through OnLive's service are recent releases such as Deus Ex: Human Revolution, DiRT 3, Homefront and F.E.A.R. 3. Players can also gain access to top-rated titles such as Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Gamers who sign up for OnLive's services have several offers in front of them. First-time buyers can purchase their OnLive PlayPass Game for just £1.
OnLive has also announced a partnership with BT for its launch, in which BT's broadband customers will be offered three months of free access to the cloud-gaming service.
Finally, anyone attending the Eurogamer Expo gaming convention in London can get a free OnLive Game System, while supplies last.
In addition to its deal with BT, OnLive has also announced a strategic launch partnership with retailer Game, which will introduce the OnLive Game Service to UK consumers via its e-commerce sites later this year.
