Utomik and LG are officially teaming up to make gaming more accessible by bringing games to more users
Earlier this year, Utomik revealed their mission to make games more accessible to a broader audience and give everyone a taste of gaming. In order to achieve this, Utomik is bringing their cloud gaming service to smart TVs.
Starting this November, the Utomik Cloud app will be available on LG smart TV models that run webOS from 2021 and 2022. LG will update their gaming UI with the addition of the Gaming Shelf, which is located on the new Home Screen of LG TVs. A future update will allow user access from the Gaming Shelf to Utomik Cloud and the games in Utomik’s cloud catalog on their LG TV—even without a PC or console.
“We are proud to announce this partnership with LG, which is one of the next steps in our mission to make gaming more accessible to an even broader audience. LG has been a great support for this next step to bring gaming everywhere, which proves their commitment to putting the needs of gamers first, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity,” Doki Tops (CEO and co-founder of Utomik) says.
Utomik occupies the perfect sweet spot with its hybrid gaming model: enabling users to play on multiple devices and switch seamlessly between them. This is achieved by combining its cloud streaming and smart download technology. Thanks to Utomik, great indie and casual games can share the spotlight on multiple platforms such as TVs, mobile devices and tablets.
Utomik Cloud allows its users to play more than 100 cloud games from its ever-growing catalog of PC games, selected specifically for their compatibility with smart TVs and mobile devices. The app includes games from all kinds of genres, such as indie favorites like Coffee Talk, My Time at Portia and Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion.
Later this year, the Utomik Cloud app will also launch on mobile devices with Android 9 or higher, starting with 200 curated games that are included within the cloud gaming subscription. Depending on the platform availability of the games you’re playing, you can even switch between various devices. For instance, you can start playing a game on your TV, only to continue on your phone or tablet as you make your way to your desktop.
The Utomik cloud gaming service is currently in Early Access and includes a 14-day free trial.
