More and more cloud gaming services have launched over the past few years, to the point where some are hard to keep track of. This week, T-Mobile’s parent company Deutsche Telekom announced that it would shut down “Magenta Gaming,” a cloud gaming service that certainly went under the radar for most.
Bandwidth is 9to5Google’s weekly look at the cloud gaming market beyond Google’s own Stadia platform. Every Friday, we take a look at the biggest news regarding services such as Nvidia GeForce Now, Amazon Luna, PlayStation Now, and Xbox Game Pass, among others. Come back weekly and don’t forget to check out Stadia Changelog, our weekly roundup of everything new on Stadia.
‘Magenta Gaming’ will shut down next month
Launched in August 2020, Deutsche Telekom’s Magenta Gaming launched on smartphones and PCs with a monthly cost of €6.95. Magenta Gaming had a limited reach, only being available in Europe and requiring potential customers to “book” their membership before playing. Only 120 games were available on the service.
The service will be shutting down on February 26, 2022, but the shop has already shut down. Players can continue to play games they’ve already purchased through the end of February, but there’s no plan to allow players to transfer those games or saves to other platforms.
It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to discontinue MagentaGaming from February 26th, 2022. Our thanks go to all loyal players, partners, friendly streamers and viewers who have made our cloud gaming and its community what it is today. We are happy that you were there and always supported us.
With the help of your feedback, we have been able to continuously improve and expand MagentaGaming over the past 2.5 years. Numerous features such as online multiplayer, friends list, in-game achievements and exclusive leaderboards went live – and we were able to offer many popular games.
