Cloud infrastructure provider Radian Arc, leading digital enabler stc Group, and gaming platform Blacknut announced the launch of cloud gaming services for millions of customers in Saudi Arabia. stc Group customers can enroll in a cloud gaming subscription or add to their existing plans.
This partnership allows stc Group to offer AAA gaming experiences to its customers at modest costs similar to traditional video game platforms, such as PCs or consoles. Customers who add cloud gaming to their existing stc service packages can now access Blacknut’s large library of over 500 premium games directly on their mobile and tablet devices.
This service is powered by Radian Arc’s proprietary GPU Edge technology, which is connected directly to stc’s network at the local data centre. This allows stc to provide low latency, low cost, and high-performance cloud gaming to consumers via its 5G networks.
Radian Arc’s cloud gaming solution uses GPU Edge technology and operator networks to process data as close to the end user as possible. While competing cloud gaming platforms have to accommodate the different network requirements of each players’ service provider, Radian Arc and Blacknut can deliver consistent, high-quality entertainment to all stc customers.
