In a significant move for gamers, Vi, a prominent telecom operator in India, has partnered with CareGame, a company based in Paris, to unveil Cloud Play, a cutting-edge mobile cloud gaming service. The partnership will make available top titles to gamers including Storm Blades, Riptide, Asphalt 9, Modern Combat 5 and more. Accessible through both the Vi Web and Vi App platforms, Cloud Play furnishes users with seamless access to a diverse array of premium mobile games.
Cloud Play presents an assortment of top-notch AAA games spanning various genres, including action, adventure, arcade, racing, sports, and strategy. Among the titles featured in the launch catalog are popular mobile games like Storm Blades, Riptide, Asphalt 9, Modern Combat 5, Shadow Fight, and Beach Buggy Racing, alongside beloved classics like Cut The Rope, Subway Surfers, and Jetpack Joyride.
Furthermore, users can expect a continuous influx of new games added to the roster in the weeks to come, as disclosed by the company.

Operating on a subscription model, Cloud Play entails a monthly fee of ₹104 for prepaid users. As an introductory gesture, users can avail themselves of a complimentary trial period before opting for a subscription.

Philippe Wang, the Co-founder and CEO of CareGame, indicated that it enables Indian gamers to get AAA mobile gaming experiences without necessitating additional investments in hardware.
