LOS ANGELES & RENNES, France – January 21, 2022 – Cloud infrastructure provider Radian Arc and gaming platform Blacknut announced today the launch of the first cloud gaming service in Malaysia, through a partnership with leading telecommunications player, Celcom Axiata Berhad (Celcom).

This partnership allows Celcom to offer AAA gaming experiences to its customers for an equivalent to less than $10 USD per month, a great value when compared to the cost of traditional video game platforms like PCs or consoles. Customers who add cloud gaming to their existing Celcom service packages can now access a large library of over 400 premium games directly on their Android or iOS devices, PC or Mac computers, or Android-based smart TVs.

This service is powered by Radian Arc’s proprietary GPU Edge technology, which is connected directly to Celcom’s network at the local data center level. This allows Celcom to provide low latency, low cost, and high performance cloud gaming to consumers via its mobile and broadband networks. Radian Arc and Blacknut are expanding their global reach with services in Malaysia and other new territories, like Indonesia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

“Celcom’s latest affordable add-on enables consumers who are ardent gamers to jump on the gaming bandwagon and enjoy the latest online games at their own convenience,” said T. Kugan, Chief Emerging Business Officer of Celcom Axiata Berhad. “We also want to enable our customers to enjoy premium Cloud Gaming technology on Celcom’s consistent 4G network connectivity.”

“This new partnership with Celcom in Malaysia is a fantastic milestone for Blacknut that confirms our leadership position in the South East region. Thanks to our unique and extensive catalog of games, as well as the low latency and high performance provided by our cloud infrastructure partner Radian Arc, Blacknut has quickly become the leading cloud gaming solution for telcos. We’re absolutely delighted to join forces with Celcom with this first ever cloud gaming launch in the country,” said Olivier Avaro, CEO of Blacknut.

“We want to make cloud gaming more affordable and accessible to all audiences,” said David Cook, CEO of Radian Arc. “Our partnership with Celcom and Blacknut accomplishes that by offering the first cloud gaming service in Malaysia. Not only is cloud gaming available in the country for the first time, but it will improve the cost and quality of gaming experiences as a whole for many Celcom customers.”

Radian Arc’s cloud gaming solution uses GPU Edge technology and operator networks to process data as close to the end user as possible. While competing cloud gaming platforms have to accommodate different network requirements of each players’ service providers, Radian Arc and Blacknut can deliver consistent, high-quality entertainment to all Celcom customers.
