WildTangent Games now available on ASUS tablets worldwide

REDMOND, WA and SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE — May 20, 2013 – Today at Casual Connect Asia, WildTangent announced that it has launched its mobile game service on ASUS tablets worldwide. WildTangent Games offers consumers the ability to play premium games for free and receive free in-game items, all courtesy of brand advertisers. In addition, consumers can rent games when free play is finished for a fraction of the retail price, and apply game rentals toward ownership of the games they enjoy the most.

“Our focus is on providing a fantastic cross-device games experience by providing consumers with new choices to play top games for free or for rent, without the commitment to buy them,” said Sean Vanderdasson, senior vice president at WildTangent. “By partnering with ASUS, a global leader in the tablet and PC space, we can help their customers find and play great games.”

“WildTangent makes it easy for owners of ASUS tablets to install games from a wide selection of publishers,” said Vira Chang, Head of the eBusiness Service Department at ASUS. “Through our partnership, we are able to extend WildTangent’s streamlined service to our consumers.”

WildTangent can be found inside ASUS@vibe+ for Android, an entertainment and content platform that features popular apps. WildTangent Games will be available on ASUS Windows 8 PCs in the coming months.

WildTangent game players can use its patented WildCoins virtual currency for in-game items, and game rental or purchase across all devices. Free game sessions and sponsored virtual items are powered by WildTangent’s advertising platform, BrandBoost.

WildTangent expands relationship with Sony Mobile Communications

WildTangent (www.wildtangent.com) today announced that it has expanded its relationship with Sony Mobile Communications, adding WildTangent Games to selected Xperia™ smartphones and tablets.

WildTangent has been a Sony partner since September 2011 and the WildTangent Games App is currently pre-installed on VAIO PCs and Sony Tablets S and P in Europe. Now, as Sony continues to drive partnership synergies across its divisions, Sony’s Xperia smartphone customers worldwide will have access to WildTangent Games through the Sony Select discovery app, where they access games and can buy, rent or play for free.

All Xperia owners who register with WildTangent will receive free WildCoins, WildTangent’s proprietary digital currency, to use for renting or buying games, or for purchasing in-game items. Premium games are continually added to the WildTangent service with popular titles including Fruit Ninja and SHADOWGUN, and free-to-play titles Babel Rising 3D and Great Little War Game. Games are updated on the go without the user even needing to visit a traditional app store.

“Sony knows gamers better than anyone and this partnership marks a significant new chapter for us,” said Sean Vanderdasson, senior vice president at WildTangent. “Our games will now be available to a huge number of people on premium Sony devices.”

“We’ve been carefully testing our Android service with users and the feedback has been incredible. People don’t want to spend the time downloading individual games. They want to play when they have free moments throughout the day,” continued Vanderdasson. “Our games service delivers the best games seamlessly to users so that we are ready to play when they are. Sony’s new Xperia devices are fantastic products and this is the perfect opportunity to bring our service to more mobile game players around the world.”

Free game sessions and sponsored virtual items are powered by BrandBoost, WildTangent’s advertising platform. WildTangent’s patented virtual currency, WildCoins, works for rental, purchase and in-game item purchases.
