Antstream Arcade just about to leap onto Xbox brining the likes of Bubble Bobble and Metal Slug to the Microsoft gaming platform.
Retro games might not be the mainstay of your average FIFA fan, but there’s a whole market for old timey challenges out there, and Xbox players can take on more than 1300 new old games soon. Antstream Arcade, the world’s biggest collection of officially licenced retro games is set to land on Xbox on 21 July. The massive range of titles available covers Commodore, Sega, Nintendo and original PlayStation era games, and adds new titles every week.
Everything from Pacman to Galaxia can kick off an evening and end up duking it out in the very first of the Mortal Kombat series or Loaded. Antstream doesn’t require any extra hardware to get involved. As the first third party streaming service on Xbox, the massive collection shouldn’t’ even take up any undue space on your Xbox SSD. While Earthworm Jim might be instantly available, every player has their own preferred way to play. Whether that’s unleashing a bunch of mods to create new challenges for veterans or dropping into community tournaments to show the old timers how to actually play.
While this might seem like a pleasant oddity to some, more and more retro video games are beginning to disappear from view entirely. Antstream represents an easy legal way to experience some of the best games of the last past. If you want to check out what to expect from the upcoming release then the team behind this system will live stream announcements of new games, introduce Xbox and tease more to come in its debut of Antstream Connect oat 12.00 PDT/20.00 BST on 14 July. Just have a look at the Antstream Arcade socials for that update. For anybody eager, this retro streaming service is already available on PC, Mac, Linux, Android, Android TV, Firestick, Samsung TV and browser (beta). Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X systems are the first consoles to get the service, for £/$/€29.99 annually or £/$/€79.99 for lifetime access.
Pre orders are open now on the official Website.
