The collaboration between Microsoft and Boosteroid
Microsoft will provide Xbox PC games via Boosteroid’s cloud gaming platform for 10 years. Boosteroid is the largest independent cloud gaming service with over 4 million subscribers.
Ukraine houses its software developers. Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard will enable Boosteroid subscribers to stream PC games.
Microsoft said in a press release that they would partner with other firms to provide Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard additional cloud gaming services and subscriptions. This adjustment is expected to boost “Call of Duty” players by 150 million.
Microsoft’s Chief Gaming Officer Phil Spencer recently commented,
“We think that playing games together may be a great way to build community.” So, Xbox is dedicated to expanding the number of platforms on which gamers may enjoy its catalog of games. As part of that goal, Boosteroid is working to make Xbox PC games available to its users. This will include Activision Blizzard games like “Call of Duty” once the deal is finalized.”
Boosteroid CEO Ivan Shvaichenko was excited to hear about Microsoft’s plans to expand access to gaming across additional devices and platforms. Shvaichenko claims that from the beginning, Boosteroid’s goal has been to allow gamers to enjoy their games on any mobile device. The collaboration with Microsoft is viewed as an additional means to this end.
Shvaichenko liked that Microsoft kept putting money into Ukraine, where Boosteroid’s development team is based. Also, the two businesses will collaborate on a project to assist Ukraine’s game developers and boost the country’s economy.
Boosteroid is a Ukrainian R&D company with locations in both Kyiv and Kharkiv. It was founded in 2017. Two of the company’s offices in Kharkiv were destroyed by Russian missiles, but the business has kept going through the last 13 months of fighting, coming up with new products and offering more services.
Only in 2023 has the company declared plans to expand its cloud-based gaming services to more platforms, such as Macs, Chromebooks, Android TVs, and LG televisions. You can play games on the cloud using either a web browser or downloadable software, and they work with a wide variety of operating systems.
The company’s ability to adapt to change and its efforts to grow show how much Boosteroid cares about gamers. Being a company that specializes in cloud-based gaming services, Boosteroid is in a prime position to expand players’ access to their favorite titles across a wide range of devices and operating systems.
Praised Microsoft for working with Boosteroid, saying that it shows how much the company cares about Ukraine. Fedorov talked about how Boosteroid’s Ukrainian development team built a world-class streaming platform in hard times. This shows how creative and innovative the country’s people and game developers are.
Boosteroid has expanded its services outside Ukraine and currently serves gamers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and countries across the European Union. The corporation has data center operations in six U.S. states, including Microsoft’s home state of Washington, as well as in the U.K., France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, and Serbia.
The gaming community is a big part of Ukraine’s software industry, and Microsoft just added Ukrainian language support to the Xbox dashboard, PC apps, and mobile apps. Furthermore, in spring 2023, Microsoft is expected to launch PC Game Pass in Ukraine, providing even more options for gamers to enjoy their favorite titles.
Microsoft’s Vice Chair and President Brad Smith said that the cooperation with Boosteroid builds on the company’s efforts to support Ukraine since Russia’s illegitimate invasion. Smith said that Microsoft is committed to helping
Ukraine’s 160,000 software engineers and has given Ukraine $430 million in technical and financial help.
Smith emphasized that the relationship with Boosteroid complements Microsoft’s recent deals with Nintendo and NVIDIA, which will make it possible for gamers to play “Call of Duty” on more devices than ever before. With these partnerships, Microsoft shows how much it wants popular games to work on different platforms and devices.
