Over 40,000 Subscribers in One Month... KT Game Box "Enjoy Regardless of Carrier"

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT will offer its streaming game service 'Game Box,' launched last month, to customers of other telecom providers starting from the 14th.

Game Box is a subscription service that allows users to play over 110 games, which would cost up to 2.4 million KRW if purchased outright, for a monthly fee of just 4,950 KRW. Utilizing a streaming method that runs games on KT's cloud servers, users can enjoy high-spec games freely with just a smartphone.

KT has introduced a simple sign-up and login system so that anyone can easily access Game Box regardless of their telecom provider. Users can sign up via KakaoTalk, Naver, Google, or the PASS app. Even non-subscribers can enjoy free benefits such as unlimited access to 10 recommended games or a 5-minute trial play of paid games.

Game Box surpassed 40,000 subscribers within a month of its launch. This is more than three times the number of subscribers compared to the first month of the open beta service. To celebrate the opening to other telecom providers, KT is adding new games to the service. These include WRC8, selected as the best racing game at the world's largest game show E3, Deliver Us The Moon, and Victor Vran Overkill Edition. KT plans to sequentially offer about 200 games by the end of the year to meet the expectations of gaming enthusiasts.

Lee Sung-hwan, Executive Director of KT's 5G/GiGA Business Division, said, "Game Box is quickly establishing itself as a service that anyone can enjoy regardless of smartphone specifications or telecom provider," adding, "In the future, we will enable Game Box to be enjoyed not only on smartphones but also on PCs, IPTV, and various OTT environments."
