Utomik takes a 'throne' at Gamesbeat 2015

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, USA - Utomik, the “unlimited gaming” subscription service, today announced that it is an official partner at GamesBeat 2015, taking place 12-13 October, 2015 in San Francisco, USA. The company will present its vision to unleash gaming and demonstrate how its technology loads PC games up to 100 times faster than any other service currently available without compromising on graphical quality.

Utomik’s booth at GamesBeat will allow participants to try out the new on-line subscription service offering unlimited gaming for $9,99 per month. Subscribers get access to hundreds of games and enjoy lag-free, instant play in one simple click.

Doki Tops, Utomik’s CEO, is a speaker at the event and will make a presentation entitled “Unleash gaming, win the war and claim the throne” on Tuesday, October 13 at 2pm PST. A live stream of the session is broadcasted on Twitch.

Commenting on this year’s GamesBeat, Doki Tops said, “Game of Thrones as the event’s 2015 theme is very fitting as the industry turns its attention to the design of future strategies to survive in the new reality. A change in the gaming model is ultimately inevitable. The bigger question is how to convert this into a gamer’s paradise while at the same time preserving and growing the industry.

No one wants to see gaming suffer the same cannibalization the music industry did. Instead a structured subscription based model will mean a greater number of consumers will play more games for longer with each playtime generating some incremental revenue. We are driving the change by working hand in hand with game publishers to shape the future and ensure a positive transition. Our vision to unleash gaming is designed for a long and prosperous reign of gaming kings and queens, in other words, delighted consumers and a booming industry.”

Utomik is currently in its ‘Closed Beta” period during which consumers can try out the no limits playtime, subscription based service for free. To date, the company has received over 10,000 signups to participate and reactions remain consistently positive with 86% stating they would recommend it to a friend. Additionally, over 70% said they would take a Utomik subscription when it goes live.

Utomik has secured publishing contracts for more than 500 games and continues to expand its library. During the closed beta, gamers can play a selection of games from the entire library, including Darksiders II, Pillars of Eternity, Evoland 2, King Arthur II and Torchlight.
