Gamestream® and Chunghwa Telecom successfully launch iOS cloud gaming app

Console quality cloud gaming now available for iOS gamers in Taiwan 

Console quality cloud gaming is now available with the debut of the Hami 5G iOS mobile app in Taiwan. Bringing 65 iconic console titles to iOS users with high performance cloud gaming, Chunghwa Telecom’s Hami iOS mobile gaming app is powered by pioneering technology developed by Gamestream, a world-leading B2B cloud gaming technology company headquartered in France.

Chunghwa Telecom, the biggest telecoms company in Taiwan, started working with Gamestream in June 2020, when Chunghwa Telecom launched the Hami 5G cloud gaming app for Android. Due to unprecedented demand from its iOS users, Chunghwa Telecom developed an iOS version of Hami using Gamestream’s technology and content library.

Chunghwa Telecom recently submitted the Hami 5G iOS app for approval to be added to the App Store, from which it is now available. The iOS cloud gaming service is a white-labelled version of Gamestream’s cloud gaming solution, offering access to over 65 iconic console titles, delivering high performance iOS cloud gaming.

Ivan Lebeau, CEO at Gamestream commented:

“At Gamestream, we’re pleased to see the Hami 5G iOS app available now in the App Store. This perhaps indicates greater receptiveness to cloud gaming on the part of Apple. Chunghwa Telecom’s successful deployment of the Hami 5G iOS cloud gaming app enables 5G iOS customers to experience console quality titles across any iOS device including iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.”

He added:

“Gamestream leads in cloud gaming technology innovation. In November 2020, we pioneered and brought to market Progressive Web Application technology ahead of any other technology company, enabling cloud gaming beyond the App Store. Our mission is to deliver the most advanced cloud gaming technology in the world, meeting best-in-class industry standards, enabling platform agnostic cloud gaming on any platform.”
