Antstream, the first cloud gaming platform dedicated entirely to retro games, has surpassed its initial Kickstarter objective having received positive responses from both classic game fans and publishers. A new stretch goal for the crowdfunding campaign, that runs until the 10th of May, has also been announced, with Antstream seeking funds to fast-track the development of the PlayStation 4 application of the streaming platform. Scheduled to launch into beta later this year on PC (Windows and Mac), Xbox One, and Android mobile devices, backers have the unique opportunity to gain early access Antstream at the end of May 2019.

Steve Cottam, CEO at Antstream said:
“We have been pleasantly surprised by the positive responses from both the public and publishers. The Kickstarter for Antstream has been a great success already, not only in the amount of funds pledged, but also in our effort in building new relationships with our community and our license partners. With the new stretch goal, we hope to bring the PlayStation 4 version forward, allowing even more fans of retro games to start playing on Antstream before the year is over.”
Antstream will enable gamers to enjoy decades of gaming classics, allowing them to play countless carefully curated titles from the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s instantly. Signing up to Antstream will give all retro fans fully licensed gaming gems to enjoy such as Ikari Warriors, Joe & Mac, California Games, Zool and Double Dragon, without the need for massive downloads or fiddly emulators. Antstream’s unique multiplayer challenge system adds a new and exciting twist to some of the most iconic games ever created, enabling gamers to challenge their friends to Score Attacks, Speed Runs and Boss Rushes amongst others. Taking advantage of the latest technology in cloud-based gaming, Antstream is as simple as installing the app, creating an account, picking a game – and play!
With the beta launch of Antstream later this year, 400 classic games will be available – with many more licensed titles to be added soon after.
