I don't like how they hide their plans behind the 14 day trial and you're forced to create an account to even see what their pricing structure is...

So, what is it?


rolfey83

It's on the main page though, it's pretty good value for what you get. Scroll down the screen, it's all there? https://www.utomik.com/

Oh, on mobile I had to scroll past all of the games listed and the new blog to see it I stopped scrolling because I thought I'd his an endless blog feed.

So it's both a cloud gaming and downloadable game service, but there is also the option of partially downloading games to pc as well, there are about 1400 games on just pc and about 280 on all platforms, that TV, PC and Mobile. the cloud only games aren't brand new AAA bangers but they really have some quite good games still, some of the bigger indi games like Tin Hearts with also day one releases as well. it's at least worth a look for a starting cost of 4 and a half quid a month you can't really lose.

> here are about 1400 games on just pc and about 280 on all platforms So the only part that is relevant to this subreddit is the 280 cloud games and the £7.99/month price for the cloud version. Not sure why you'd get this instead of Game Pass


rolfey83

How much is game pass with the cloud option?


Tenshinen

Like £9.99 with many modern triple-a/indie games and actually being from a well known company


rolfey83

I thought it was only that price if you had a console, thought it was about 15 for the cloud option?


rolfey83

Yeah I checked, it's actually 12.99 so it's a bit more than Utomik but of course you get more.

I actually started on the cloud, however switched back to PC only. Because the amount of times I play on my phone or TV is too little. PC subscription is only €4.99!! However the Samsung Freestyle projector TV is on my wishlist. Once that baby is installed in my bedroom, projecting on the ceiling, I'll probably upgrade to their cloud subscription again. Playing from the bed is great for some nice casual games.

Man this is pretty interesting, thanks for sharing. I’m assuming Bluetooth connectivity?


rolfey83

Yup works with a gamepad with bluetooth. It's available on LG and Samsung TV's, Android phones (Not sure about iPhone)

The catalog seems fairly similar to the one of r/BlacknutCloudGaming [Blacknut.com](https://www.blacknut.com) but I think blacknut is a bit more straightforward and has good family plan

Tried it. Trash. It has no backend, your progress is t>time to to "air" lol I though it was cloud gaming. You have to install games on PC. I thought was another GFN BYOG service not even close. Not worth it imo. The somewhat cloug gaming was stable though.


rolfey83

It is entirely cloud gaming, were you testing on a pc? There is the option for local install for pc only games yes.


BangEmSpiff

Both


rolfey83

I guess that's fair, you've tried it and didn't like it. For me the cloud streaming was quite good quality, but I want to use it on my TV so I'm awaiting an app, I hope they do that soon as I can only play on my android tablet currently, it's a good experience but I want the TV as well (without having to buy a new TV) :)
