THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

People might say we have our head in the clouds, and they would be right. Long before people knew what "the cloud" was, we were leveraging it to achieve an infinitely worthwhile vision: to make video games as easily accessible as movies and music.

With our recent acquisition by Sony Computer Entertainment, you're probably wondering what happens to our vision now.

Truth is, the future has never looked brighter. We're working hard with Sony Computer Entertainment to advance our cloud gaming platform, and we can't wait to unveil the next generation of it to you.
