LG Uplus Introduces 'GeForce NOW' at BIC Festival

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] LG Uplus announced on the 29th that it will introduce the cloud gaming GeForce NOW platform to the global indie game festival 'BIC Festival 2020 - Untact Live' held in October.

Accordingly, the 'BIC Festival 2020' will be the world's first to adopt the cloud gaming GeForce NOW platform. The online game show demonstrations will be easily experienced by applying real-time streaming technology through the cloud platform. From the perspective of online attendees, the burden of having to download large-capacity games directly and the time required for game demonstrations are expected to be reduced.

'BIC Festival' is a global indie game festival for indie game developers and gamers who love games. This year, to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and prioritize the safety of developers and attendees participating from various countries, it will be held in an untact (non-face-to-face) format. Exhibitions, conferences, and events will all be held online from October 19 to 25.

Son Min-seon, Executive Director of Cloud Service at LG Uplus, said, "Based on our experience and technology of being the world's first to provide 5G-based cloud gaming service domestically, we will strive for the successful hosting of this event," and added, "We will present an online cloud gaming platform that satisfies both participating companies and viewers."
