MTN South Africa has officially launched MTN Cloudplay, a groundbreaking cloud gaming service that allows users to access a wide range of video games without the need for high-end consoles or extensive downloads.
As announced on Wednesday, this service seeks to transform digital entertainment in the region by making high-quality gaming more accessible.
Game on the go with MTN Cloudplay
MTN Cloudplay is designed to provide a seamless gaming experience by enabling users to stream high-end PC games directly to their mobile devices.
This innovative service is part of MTN’s ongoing commitment to enhance the digital lives of its customers, especially with the advent of 5G technology, which allows for low-latency streaming and responsive gameplay.
Jason Probert, General Manager for Digital Services at MTN South Africa, said MTN Cloud play will enable customers “enjoy the benefits of a modern connected life.”
“The advent of 5G means that it is now possible to stream and play games without the need for a PC or console,” Mr Probert stated. “Customers can use their existing Steam licences on the service, and have access to more than 300 games on the service for only R79 per month.”
For just R79 per month, users can access over 340 games from more than 50 publishers, including classics like Contra and Mortal Kombat and modern hits such as Hogwarts Legacy and Borderlands 3.
The service also features a Bring Your Own Licence (BYOL) option, allowing gamers to use their existing Steam licences. This flexibility is expected to attract many gamers, from casual players to dedicated enthusiasts.
