Hatch opens beta test for Android cloud gaming service in Finland

Hatch has opened a beta test for residents of Finland to use its cloud-based mobile social hub, which can stream mobile games instantly to Android users. The beta test is a major test for Hatch, which wants to provide a new source of revenues and discovery for mobile game developers through a Netflix-like monthly paid subscription, in which gamers can get access to lots of games.

The company is now inviting Android users in Finland to sign up for the cloud gaming service and social hub. The service taps cloud computing, or Internet-connected data centers, to stream gameplay to mobile devices. It also enables players to share their own gameplay moments to the social hub, and people can watch what is happening in someone else’s game. Players will be able to invite their friends and family to Hatch and play games together with them in real time.
