Antstream Arcade has expanded its global partnerships ecosystem by signing a licensing deal with Interplay Entertainment.

Following a recent deal with Bandai Namco, this collaboration will see popular titles such as “Earthworm Jim” and “Descent” now available for streaming on the Antstream platform.  

“Interplay is one of the most iconic and well- respected games publishers and developers, so this deal is hugely important for Antstream,” says Steve Cottam, chief executive officer, Antstream. “Following other high-profile partnerships we have signed, and with more deals in the pipeline, we are clearly demonstrating the strength of our position in the gaming market and the huge growth potential that cloud-based streaming services creates.”

For a monthly subscription, not only will gamers be able to play Antstream’s vast and ever-expanding library of fully licensed classics, but they will be able to participate in a wide range of global tournaments and leaderboards.  

“It is always great to partner with a company which is clearly leading the way in gaming and, in this instance, retro gaming,” says Herve Caen, chief executive officer, Interplay Entertainment. “Antstream Arcade is on track to doing just that, substantiated by its strong vision and having a solid understanding and passion for the industry. We are very much looking forward to what this collaboration will deliver.”
