"Play Assassin's Creed on iPhone" LGU+ Launches 'GeForce Now' iOS Service
[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] LG Uplus announced on the 10th that it will launch the cloud gaming service ‘GeForce NOW’ on iOS. This is the first time that ‘iPhone’ and ‘iPad’ are supported in the domestic cloud gaming market.
GeForce NOW is a 5G-based cloud gaming service first introduced worldwide in September 2019 through a partnership between LG Uplus and NVIDIA. It offers over 300 high-spec games such as ▲League of Legends ▲Fortnite ▲Destiny Guardians ▲Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla ▲Black Desert on mobile, PC, and IPTV, gaining popularity among gaming enthusiasts.
LG Uplus expects the number of users to increase as users of the 5G smartphone ‘iPhone 12’, released in October last year, and the market-leading tablet PC, iPad, can now enjoy GeForce NOW. An LG Uplus official explained, “Due to the nature of game content that requires controls, users tend to prefer the large screen of tablet PCs. Among them, the iPad is highly praised by gamers for its fast response speed, so we expect the expansion of the GeForce NOW service to gain more momentum.”
To celebrate the launch of GeForce NOW iOS service, LG Uplus is offering some games for free. Since the 9th, free access to ‘Trine 4’, ‘The King of Fighters 98 and 14’, and ‘Metal Slug X’ has started, and from the end of this month, the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, which includes 24 games including ‘Samurai Shodown V Special’, will be provided free of charge until further notice. Additionally, an event giving away iPhones, iPads, and AirPods is being held. Customers who access and sign up for GeForce NOW by the 15th can participate by playing any game and then applying through ‘Participate in Event’.
Son Minseon, Head of XaaS Business at LG Uplus (Executive Director), said, “With the opening of the iOS service, GeForce NOW is now available on virtually all customer touchpoints including Android phones, IPTV, PC, iPhone, and iPad. We will continue to enhance the convenience of cloud gaming.”
