Spawn Labs, the streaming game company acquired by GameStop earlier this year, is currently in the process of beta testing a service that will stream both PC and console games to a variety of devices. The beta is ongoing and will begin to expand later this year, as revealed during a conference call with GameStop investors.
“Spawn recently began its first beta and is currently live, testing the streaming of Xbox 360, PS3, and PC games from a data center in Austin, Texas,” said GameStop president Tony Bartel yesterday during the call. “We continue to get positive feedback from our publishing partners about the pro-console, low-investment model that we have chosen.”
GameStop associates are participating in the closed beta, the purpose of which is to “fine-tune our data center environment.” Early results were said to be “positive.”
