TOKYO, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ubitus K.K., a leading cloud streaming technology provider, and Google Cloud today announced a new partnership to advance the development of cloud streaming in the games industry. Under the collaboration, Ubitus has chosen Google Cloud as its primary cloud provider and will run the majority of its workloads onto Google Cloud.

Ubitus works with major game consoles and publishers to help game developers deliver content to players worldwide.
Game companies need streaming technology providers that can help them significantly improve their cost-performance ratio.

This helps gaming companies reach new audiences, open up new business opportunities, and improve customer experiences.
Together, the two companies will partner to digitally transform cloud streaming for games by:
- Accelerating market innovation: Ubitus will tap into Google Cloud's global scale, GPU and VM resources, and expertise in data, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve the quality and power of its streaming and on-demand services for the games industry and beyond—including offerings in fashion, real estate, and automotive verticals.
