Onlive App Launches for Phones, Tablets
Onlive announced it's bringing a new app to phones and tablets starting today that allows gamers to play titles like L.A. Noire and Assassin's Creed Revelations on the go.
The company says a growing library of 25 "console-class" games have been "adapted for touch-screen control." Additionally, most of the 200 games through Onlive's service are playable with the new Universal OnLive Wireless Controller, which is compatible with many tablets and smartphones. The controller will be available soon for purchase in the US and the UK for $49.99 and £39.99.
“Today marks a major milestone: OnLive is now delivering the latest, console-class, top-tier games—literally to your fingertips—on tablets and phones for instant, on-demand play anywhere, anytime,” said Steve Perlman, OnLive Founder and CEO. “Through the free OnLive app, tablet and smartphone gamers can play top console and PC titles like Assassins Creed: Revelations and L.A. Noire—one of the most highly acclaimed, graphically sophisticated games to date—with exclusive OnLive Cloud Touch controls or with the new mobile-compatible Universal OnLive Wireless Controller.
"Tablets and smartphones, the fastest-growing consumer product categories in history, are now capable of running the hottest, highest-end games. Gaming and mobile devices will never be the same.”
