Global leader in cloud gaming Antstream Arcade brings its library of over 1,200 games to millions of gamers worldwide via the Epic Games Store. Epic’s users will be able to play iconic video games from the arcade era and beyond for free through Antstream Arcade’s dedicated platform.
The first pure cloud gaming platform to be added to the Epic Games Store, Antstream boasts the largest library of games of any cloud gaming service, with iconic classics including Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat. Antstream Arcade provides the best way for players to enjoy a huge range of retro and casual games - from definitive classics to obscure curios - for free, with no downloads or microtransactions. As part of a 7-day offer to welcome new users to the platform, players will receive a free gem pack worth US$14.99, which can be used to enter the many tournaments hosted on Antstream Arcade, and unlock new “challenge modes” for some of the best games of the last 40 years. Antstream will also be offering players a discount on its premium ad-free subscription option in December, with further details to be announced soon.
Antstream Arcade Chief Executive Officer Steve Cottam said, “We are on a mission to bring some of the greatest games ever created to a socially connected global community using the latest in streaming technology. Today’s launch in the Epic Store is a huge step towards achieving that goal. We’re very excited to welcome a brand new audience to the Antstream Arcade platform, and to push the boundaries of what is possible with cloud gaming by making it accessible to everyone. Players can enjoy any of the games on Antstream Arcade for free, on almost any device. With over a thousand titles available and more being added every week, we’re confident everyone will be able to find something they enjoy.”
Antstream Arcade’s library of streamable games includes titles licenced from Disney, Warner Bros., Taito, Atari and Bandai Namco, as well as a huge range of smaller indie developers and IP owners from across gaming history. Antstream Arcade represents not only the best way for gamers to legally play the games of the past, but also one of the only ways to continually support a game’s original creators and rights holders. In addition to providing gaming rights holders with a revenue stream for the use of their content, Antstream delivers a wealth of gameplay data from players allowing game owners to better decide how to shape their franchises for future audiences.
