Cloud-based gaming service Playkey launches in German market

Cloud-based gaming platform Playkey has expanded its reach, from its traditional base in the the UK, Russia and CIS, into the German market

The service launched in Germany was made possible through a collaboration with European solution provider G-Core Labs, who is known for its CDN partnership with game publisher Wargaming, and DARZ GmbH, one of Germany’s prominent IT providers.

“We are incredibly excited to be growing our cloud-gaming offering and launching in Germany,” Egor Gurjev, CEO and Founder at Playkey said.

“We plan to invest heavily behind this expansion and will be bringing in a local country manager to develop this project further. We’re passionate about providing gamers access to the games they love, regardless of the hardware they own, and so this is a very exciting step for us in our mission to establish Playkey worldwide.”

Following launch, German gamers will gain easy access to games including Mafia III, The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Dishonored series, Overwatch and others.

Playkey recently expanded into South Korea and completed an ICO in which it raised $10.5 million to develop a decentralised P2P ecosystem.
