Cloud technology company, Ubitus and SEGA have, today, announced a new deal which will see SEGA games coming to the Ubitus North American and European platform from April 2013.
To be honest, I hadn’t heard of Ubitus until this announcement. But this isn’t SEGA’s first encounter with Cloud Gaming in recent years, many of the companies Mega Drive (and a few more recent) titles are available to stream via the OnLive gaming service. So I would just imagine something very similar to that, but maybe more?
Anyway, there’s more information in this handy press release, below.
