HTC Partners and Invest With OnLive

HTC, a global leader in mobile innovation and design, today announced it was partnering with OnLive, Inc., the pioneer of on-demand, instant-play video games.  HTC also announced it was investing $40 million in OnLive, Inc.

"In a world of mobile Internet ubiquity, content is king but it's not all created equal.  OnLive provides a connected cloud-based gaming experience unlike any other," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation.  "HTC and OnLive share a similar goal for expanding connected cloud-based gaming by making it wireless and location-independent."

 

"Video games are the most popular mobile app category, despite the relatively limited performance of mobile devices.  OnLive's cloud gaming technology will turbo-charge HTC mobile devices with directly playable console-class video game performance," said Steve Perlman, OnLive Founder and CEO.  "OnLive is delighted to partner with HTC to open up this entirely new frontier in mobile gaming."
