Sky today announced the launch of its new Sky Games website, which allows you to download a wide selection of video games to your PC. Budding game enthusiasts can choose from over 100 different games across a wide range of genres, including puzzle, action, kids, role play and strategy.
What's more, Sky Games is open to everyone, whether or not you are a Sky TV or Internet customer.
If you're a casual game player, the 'Join & Play' package provides unlimited access to a selection of over 100 games for a monthly subscription. All games are available for a 30 minute free trial and subscription starts from as little as £6 per month.
Wide range
Sky promises that more publishers will come on board in the coming months and games will be priced between £4.99 to £29.99.
"The launch of Sky Games is an important move for Sky. Our research shows that a significant number of our customers are gamers and as the UK's leading entertainment company, the move into gaming is a natural step," said Adrian Pilkington, Sky's director of enhanced TV and games.
"We have some exciting plans to develop Sky Games as a multi-platform brand so that customers have the ultimate in flexibility in how they access and play games."
The Sky Games download-to-own service is delivered via a partnership with IGN Entertainment's Direct2Drive digital retail store, the videogame industry's leading digital download site and a unit of News Corporation's Fox Interactive Media .
