Cloud-based gaming platform developed by UAE game company secures $10 million investment for its Web3 iteration
The Game Company Raises $10 Million for Cloud Gaming Platform
The Game Company, a UAE-based blockchain gaming infrastructure provider, has announced a $10 million funding round, co-led by Telcoin, BullPerks, Singularity DAO, and over-the-counter investments through NodeMarket. This latest fundraising follows a previous $5 million funding round in April 2023, which closed at a post-money valuation of $40 million.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate the development of The Game Company's cloud gaming platform, a service comparable to those offered by Nvidia and Amazon, but with a competitive edge provided by its proprietary low-latency technology. This technology allows for lag-free gameplay on PCs, consoles, and other devices, setting The Game Company apart in the cloud gaming market.
The Game Company aims to simplify lag-free gaming on any device and integrate within both web3 and web2 ecosystems. The company has already onboarded 500,000 waitlisted users for its cloud-gaming platform, which allows players to play games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, Rocket League, and more from any device without any specific hardware, software, or download requirements.
Azure, with its competitive edge in LATAM, is emerging as a key partner for The Game Company. The company has collaborated with cloud services providers including AWS, Google Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and is leveraging Microsoft Azure's infrastructure to scale operations in LATAM.
The Game Company's CEO, Osman Masud, stated that most of the new capital will be used to enhance the platform and its integration within web3 and web2 ecosystems. He also mentioned that the funding validates their approach to making gaming accessible worldwide without hardware or software restrictions.
In the blockchain gaming sector, The Game Company's funding round is not an isolated event. Delabs Games, Double Jump Tokyo, Gameplay Galaxy, and Ultra are among the key companies actively raising capital, innovating with technology, and expanding capabilities. These companies are gaining competitive advantages through strategic partnerships, innovative technology adoption, infrastructure and tooling, and financial strategy.
The Game Company plans to take on legacy cloud-gaming with a twist of blockchain, positioning itself as a player in the rapidly growing blockchain gaming market. The company has completed over 41,000 on-chain transactions with more than 10,000 new unique wallets created on the blockchain in under 48 hours, demonstrating the potential for growth and adoption in the industry.
