Bluestacks has announced they will be launching a new gaming console and subscription service called Gamepop. The Android powered console will be free until the end of May, though access to any of the games costs $6.99 per month for the all-you-play gaming service.
“Mobile gaming has been taking off the past few years. BlueStacks’ vision is to bring that same experience to bigger screens,” said BlueStacks CEO Rosen Sharma. “The all-you-can-eat pricing model for GamePop lets users enjoy a much broader range of games, just as you can watch more movies with Netflix versus the pay-as-you-go model Blockbuster employed.”
“BlueStacks has credibility in the microconsole space that others just don’t have,” added Halfbrick CEO Shainiel Deo. “We’ve been a featured partner in App Player since early on and they’ve delivered on every promise in terms of distribution. GamePop is a great incremental channel for us.”
