Expanding Global Access to Cloud Gaming
Paul Neuner, CEO and co-founder of Telcoin, reinforced the alignment between the two companies, noting that The Game Company’s platform demonstrates the potential of Telcoin Network in delivering web3 services through telecom channels. By leveraging Telcoin’s relationships with mobile network operators, The Game Company will be able to offer premium gaming experiences to mobile users, particularly in developing markets where access to high-end gaming devices may be limited. Additionally, gamers will benefit from Telcoin’s low-cost, regulated payment infrastructure, which provides flexibility in choosing between traditional and blockchain-based payment methods.
The Game Company’s cloud gaming platform is currently in development following a successful alpha testing phase. The initial testing, conducted in over 33 regions, including the UAE, saw over 43,000 sign-ups, more than 41,000 on-chain transactions, and the creation of 10,000 wallets in under 48 hours. The platform is expected to launch in Q1 2025, offering access to over 1,300 gaming titles from Steam, Epic Games, and other leading publishers via cloud-based infrastructure.
