If Sony Ericsson Xperia Play users feel that they deserve a share of the console class gaming pie, then their wishes have been granted as the OnLive app now comes integrated with support for the smartphone’s slide out gamepad. The Android app claims to offer high performance, console class gameplay and Xperia Play owners can indulge in almost all OnLive titles.
The titles can be experienced on the handset directly via the integrated slide out controls and gamers are allowed to enjoy instant on-demand play. Launched for the Android mobile platform earlier this month, the OnLive cloud application has been specially developed for avid players. It lets fans avail of a variety of popular titles, which were previously only compatible with consoles and computers, on mobile devices.
“From the moment we launched our OnLive Android app, gamers began asking about Sony Ericsson Xperia Play game control support. We listened and delivered. Now Xperia Play gamers in the US and UK can play almost all of OnLive’s 200 premium titles—including hit AAA games likeSaints Row: The Third and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations—on their Xperia Play smartphone with a full console-class experience, including multiplayer and social features,” stated Steve Perlman, OnLive Founder and CEO.
Owing to fact that the service is based on the cloud, offerings provided by this app are streamed over the web just like music and videos. These include a vast collection of cross platform games, which as the name suggests, let users enjoy the titles on multiple platforms such as a PC, Mac, tablet, TV or smartphone. Additionally, it is possible to indulge in marathon multiplayer gaming sessions with friends living far away and playing on different devices at the same time.
The OnLive app can be downloaded for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play from the Android Market.
