In an attempt to make its game-streaming microconsole more compelling to customers, OnLive has announced a new unlimited game streaming service for a subscription of $9.99 per month. The new service will launch with 14 games.
In a recent announcement, OnLive said that from January 15, 2011, users can subscribe to the new all-you-can-eat $9.99-a-month subscription program - called OnLive PlayPack - which will give them access to a number of games for an unlimited play time.
The forthcoming OnLive PlayPack unlimited game streaming service will be a marked advantage for users who either rent or purchase the games that they want to play. The OnLive service will allow them to play as much as they want for one set price, sans any commitment.
Initially, the OnLive PlayPack service will feature 14 games, including Prince of Persia; Lego Batman, Fear 2; and World of Goo. Gamers will be able to play these games for free, with the mentioned subscription.
About the new service, OnLive founder and CEO Steve Perlman said: "People love flat-rate plans for instant-play media, so it's exciting to introduce this offering to the video game market for the first time. With PlayPass games priced from $3.99 to $49.99, along with the new $9.99/mo PlayPack plan, OnLive's growing library of games will suit any budget and any type of gamer, from casual to hardcore."
