[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Uplus will introduce the blockbuster game "Black Desert," chosen by 17 million gamers worldwide, on the cloud gaming platform "GeForce NOW" for 5G mobile communication users.

On the 29th, LG Uplus announced that it will provide Black Desert through the cloud gaming service GeForce NOW in partnership with the domestic game company Pearl Abyss. Black Desert is a large-scale multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) offered by Pearl Abyss in 12 languages across 150 countries.

From today, LG Uplus 5G customers and U+ Internet users can enjoy Black Desert for free via the GeForce NOW PC version on laptops or older PCs at home through the cloud service. Previously, Black Desert was only available on high-quality PCs, making it impossible to run the game on laptops or low-spec PCs.

Kim Kyung-man, Chief Business Officer (CBO) of Pearl Abyss, said, "We chose the cloud gaming platform to provide more gamers with the experience of playing ultra-high-definition game content," adding, "We hope players will break free from PC specification limitations and experience the endless open world offered by Black Desert."

Currently, about 300 games are available through GeForce NOW. LG Uplus has expanded the GeForce NOW platform to mobile, PC, and Internet TV (IPTV).

Son Min-seon, Executive Director of Cloud Services at LG Uplus, emphasized, "Through GeForce NOW, high-quality games can now be fully enjoyed not only on gaming PCs but also on laptops or home PCs," adding, "We will deliver a gaming world connected through the cloud anytime and anywhere, beyond device limitations, to our customers."

LG Uplus is holding an event until August 19th, offering GeForce NOW PC trial tickets to SK Telecom and KT customers as well. Detailed information can be found on the U+ homepage.
