After a bit of a delay, OnLive is opening its beta program to gamers living in the US.

I’m very excited to say that we are now opening the OnLive Beta to outside gamers who signed up on our website. It?s not too late to sign up if you haven’t already. We are very much looking forward to hearing from gamers all about their experience with the OnLive Service.

OnLive games service ‘will work’

Posted on by

A lot of details about the technology powering OnLive are outlined in this article.

Perlman states that large gaming publishers like Electronic Arts and Ubisoft had been reviewing their technology for years before deciding to produce games for OnLive.

OnLive has been in development for 7 years and during that time, they have been working on a video compression algorithm and a custom-built silicon chip to solve the problems of latency. Perlman admits the algorithm is far from perfect causing video quality to display some small artefacts. The silicon chip used for video compression costs under $20 to manufacture.

There is currently 2 servers located in the United States for the beta. By the time the OnLive service is launched, there will be 5 servers in the country.
