Together with GAMESTREAM and Intel, MEDION offers a Cloud Gaming subscription service (Gaming as a service) with a low flat rate for games, especially aimed at mid-core and casual gamers. All games are streamed from powerful servers provided by GAMESTREAM that are based on the Intel Xeon architecture to provide very low latency, exciting gaming experiences. There is no need to download game files or wait for updates - just click on your favourite game and get started. Special hardware is not necessary, many controllers and other input devices are compatible. In order to satisfy as many age groups as possible, there will be both exciting action titles and family-friendly games - parents will also have the opportunity to provide certain games with a child lock.

For this Beta, over 20 selected games will be available only on PC, in 720p50fps. The selection includes well-known games for the whole family like "Lego Star Wars - The Complete Saga" as well as indie games like "Furi" or "The Flame in the Flood" for more demanding players. Racing simulations like "GRID" as well as games with a strong story like "Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders" can also be found among the games that will be directly playable at the start of the beta phase. The beta phase serves primarily to present the cloud gaming technology and to have it evaluated by users andexperts. For this purpose, MEDION will collect feedback on both the technology and the content offered.

After evaluating feedback, MEDION Erazer Cloud Gaming is expected to be available to all users in February 2020. At the beginning, 50 titles are immediately playable in 720p and 1080p/50fps, while the selection of games will be constantly expanded. Which games are available for the official launch of the service will also be based on the feedback received and will be announced at a later date. MEDION ERAZER Cloud Gaming will be available on PC during beta phase. Later, it will also be available on tablets and smartphones with Android, MacOS, iOS, smart TV and STB.

“The new MEDION ERAZER Cloud Gaming service is a major step in GAMESTREAM’s development. It’s an opportunity to strengthen our presence in Europe with a wide and powerful distribution network. ERAZER is already very popular in the gamer community” said Lionel Adam, VP of Sales and Business Development at Gamestream. He added: “Video games are entering a new era with the streaming from the cloud that will replace the conventional consumption model in the future.
