OnLive will be released on June 17 for the PC and Mac, the same week as E3 2010. The cloud gaming service promises to offer instant streaming of PC games from various publishers such as Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, 2K Games and many more. The service will run for $14.95 and additional subscription plans will be announced closer to the launch.
OnLive will be available in the United States and the first 25,000 people that sign up for the service will get three months of access for free. Some of the launch titles will include Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Assassin’s Creed II, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, Borderlands and Metro 2033. The MicroConsole TV Adapter that will connect OnLive to your TV will be announced later in the year.
Despite everything I’ve heard about the OnLive service, I’m still not sold on the idea. How about you? Have any of you been in the beta for OnLive and if so, what did you think of it?
