PARIS, France — Gamestream, a leading provider of cloud gaming solutions for B2B industries, is proud to announce the rapid expansion of its global network with two new international telecom partnerships.

Telekom Slovenije, the leading Slovenian provider of the most advanced ICT solutions, launched NEO Gaming, a white-labelled version of the Gamestream cloud gaming platform, allowing Telekom Slovenije digital TV customers to access over fifty console games including Disney Infinity 3.0: Gold Edition, LEGO® Star Wars™ III – The Clone Wars™ and MotoGP™17. The multiple award-winning NEO platform which brought a completely new experience of managing TV content with voice commands, now also supports video gaming.

Bouygues Telecom, one of the leading telecoms operators in France, partnered with Gamestream to launch Pleio, a new consumer cloud gaming brand owned and operated by Gamestream. Pleio was launched to spearhead Bouygues Telecom’s 5G mobile service across France. The Pleio brand itself was established by Gamestream to manage cloud gaming services, including marketing communications and community management, for b2b customers like Bouygues Telecom.

Ivan Lebeau, CEO at Gamestream, commented: “The Gamestream telecommunications partnership network continues to expand at a rapid rate across the globe with the onboarding of Telekom Slovenije and Bouygues Telecom, both of which are market leaders.
