Zappware integrates AirConsole for casual cloud gaming

Belgian software developer Zappware has announced a partnership with AirConsole.

The tie-up will see N-Dream’s cloud-based video game console integrated fully into the Zappware ecosystem. 

Zappware said that players will have access to more than 180 games using their smartphone as a controller. Zappware can now enable operators to personalise the gaming experience using their Entertainment Control Centre, Zappwares’ proprietary suite of back-office tools. 

Partnered operators can provide access to the AirConsole platform with its 11 free games or bundle the entire platform to their users.

Ives Decraene, executive partner ZEGI Group, said: “We all know that games are a great way for the audience to lean in and have hours of fun on the screen of their choice. The integration of AirConsole is the natural beginning for our Worlds offering. We have a range of dedicated content experiences tailor-made for every audience segment, whether they are cord-cutters or casual gamers, esports fans or travel enthusiasts.”

Anthony Cliquot, CEO of N-Dream AG, said: “With this partnership with Zappware, AirConsole makes another step forward toward being available in every living room. We are excited to bring more joy and fun to millions of new users that can start playing games instantly on their TV without owning any gamepads.”
