Game session hosting specialists Gameye today announced a new partnership with Tencent Cloud to bring Gameye’s industry-leading game-hosting solution to Tencent Cloud’s servers in mainland China. The strategic partnership opens server capacity inside the Chinese firewall in key locations including Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, and means Gameye will now offer its online game-hosting services to developers and publishers on every continent.
Gameye will also join Tencent Cloud on 6 May 2020 to host the first digital Industry Insights Conference on the present and future of global multiplayer gaming. Gameye and Tencent Cloud will be joined by leading experts from Supercell, Servers.com, Splash Damage, Kunlun, Makers Fund, Huya and R8 Games to discuss the current challenges and future opportunities in developing, publishing and maintaining global multiplayer titles.
About the Gameye/Tencent Cloud Partnership
Known for their unique, scalable and innovative worldwide game session hosting solution, Gameye is a technology innovator giving game studios the power to deploy online game sessions closer to their players, wherever those players may be.
Gameye’s partnership with Tencent Cloud will lower the barrier to entry for videogame studios to deploy their titles in China. When a videogame is approved for launch, its creators can use Gameye to deploy the game everywhere instead of needing to audit and select multiple local partners.
“We’re very pleased to partner with Tencent Cloud to extend our service into China as a benefit to developers and publishers in both the east and west,” said Sebastiaan Heijne, Gameye CEO. “Launching and supporting an online game in China can be daunting for developers and publishers, and we’re proud to be the first to offer a ‘one-stop shop’ for game studios who need to operate globally. Developers and publishers now need only one partner to run demanding online titles with low latency everywhere on Earth – Gameye.”
“Gameye is an important partner for Tencent Cloud Europe,” said Li Shiwei, VP of Tencent Europe. “We will work together to connect gamers all over the world and to deliver them the best user experience possible with low latency and great performance. This partnership means Gameye customers can take advantage of Tencent Cloud’s performant infrastructure and scale, as well as our strengths in areas like Gaming PaaS, AI and Big Data and Global Reach.”
Gameye’s game-hosting service will be fully operational in mainland China by Q2 2020. Gameye will be able to deploy multiplayer games that need high-performance network infrastructure on a global scale – now including mainland China with Tencent Cloud as an infrastructure partner.
