The Game Company (TCG), a Dubai gaming startup, has raised $10 million through equity and token sales to build the next cloud gaming infrastructure based on blockchain technology.
Over the past two years, the company said it has built a platform that can be used to play any games from PC or consoles, on any device, anywhere in the world, thanks to its patented low-latency proprietary tech that allows lag free gameplay.
The Game Company has already been piloting the system with various early adopters. In September 2024, TGC announced its strategic collaboration with Aethir, a provider of decentralized GPU-based compute infrastructure. Since then, it has joined Google’s and Microsoft’s startup programs. Aethir finds underused graphics processing units (GPUs) and, with the help of incentives from blockchain tokens, gets the providers to deliver AI processing or cloud streaming services to the applications that need it.
Both TGC and Aethir operate in the cloud gaming and decentralized infrastructure space, but Masud said his firm approaches things differently. Aethir focuses on using underutilized GPUs to provide decentralized computing power for AI and blockchain applications.
TGC, on the other hand, uses proprietary ultra-low latency cloud technology to deliver high-performance gaming without the need for expensive hardware. The goal is to make gaming more accessible to everyone, he said.
“While we can optimize for underutilized GPUs, we’re not limited to that approach. With partnerships from major cloud providers, TGC now covers 98% of the globe,” Masud said.
Telcoin and its CEO Paul Neuner, BullPerks and Singularity DAO led the round, with over the counter investments through NodeMarket.
