Overview

Gamestream is a French white-label cloud gaming provider whose platform delivers console-quality games requiring only three megabits of bandwidth. Launched in 2019 by co-founders Ivan Lebeau and Xavier Cavin, the company offers over 300 licensed titles aimed at families and casual gamers through partnerships with publishers including Disney Interactive, Outright Games, and Microids. Its platform is deployed across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and India and is also distributed through Accor hotels worldwide. Gamestream recently expanded in India and is now targeting West Africa, focusing on markets where consoles and full-price games are less affordable. The company has raised €4.5M in fresh funding to support further international expansion.

Gamestream builds B2B high-definition cloud gaming solutions for business customers. Its core product is cloud gaming technology delivered as a business solution. The company raised a €3.5m Series A aimed at accelerating national and international development. The funding is intended to support the expansion of its worldwide activities.

More than one million Etisalat customers in Dubai can access the ELIFE TV Gaming service and subscribe to Gamestream’s monthly offers. Gamestream selected 2CRSI’s tailor-made, high-performance servers for reactivity and geographic coverage to optimize streaming quality.
