HKT becomes Hong Kongs first telecommunications service provider partnering with Blacknut

After Blacknut service subscription, customers can enjoy Blacknut's cloud gaming experience with a wide range of racing, strategy, retro, sports, party, and popular AAA games, such as Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, Overcooked!2, and Moving Out simply by installing the app on devices including smartphones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs without additional costs nor separate downloads, and customers' gaming experience will not be interrupted by in-game purchases or advertisements.

Each subscription allows for the creation of up to five independent accounts so that different family members can play on various smart devices simultaneously. The platform also supports independent cloud saves, allowing personal game progress to be stored under individual accounts.

As the first telecommunications services provider in Hong Kong to collaborate with Blacknut, HKT leverages its own low-latency fixed broadband and 5G mobile communication capabilities to support the cloud gaming services. Backed by the Cloud Edge technology^ adopted by Blacknut, game computing resources are deployed closer to the users, providing customers with high-quality, smooth, and low-latency gaming experiences.

Customers of csl, NETVIGATOR, Now TV and eye under HKT can enjoy Blacknut's cloud gaming service for a monthly fee of HK$49*. Additionally, from now until 29 February 2024, customers subscribing to the 24-month Blacknut cloud gaming service can purchase a SteelSeries Stratus Duo (recommended retail price: HK$659) or a SteelSeries Nimbus+ (recommended retail price: HK$598) game controller at a discounted price of HK$99#.
