Bouygues Telecom and cloud gaming company Playcast Media Systems have announced the launch of Bbox games, a cloud gaming service for France. For the first time in Europe, Bouygues Telecom triple play subscribers will be able to play console-quality video games on their TVs without requiring additional hardware. Bouygues Telecom’s Bbox IPTV subscribers will have access to Playcast’s cloud gaming service through their STB.
