Summary
Finnish firm Return Entertainment has launched its cloud-based smart TV gaming service in the UK, making it available on Amazon Fire TV.
The platform turns players’ smartphones into controllers, using QR codes to pair the devices.
The firm aims to make premium gaming experiences accessible without specialised hardware, challenging conventional gaming interaction methods.
CEO Vesa Jutila said the outfit had 13 employees and that it was using Amazon Web Services GPUs to power its cloud infrastructure.
Its debut game, Rivals Arena, is a fast-paced card game that has already been released on Samsung Smart TVs.
Jutila said the company had integrated advertising into the gameplay, allowing players to watch ads for in-game rewards, and that almost 50% of players on Samsung TVs had opted to watch more ads.
He said the company intended to expand its Fire TV offering soon.
