We had a feeling that this week’s Game Developers Conference would yield some major news concerning the upcoming OnLive streaming game service and we were not disappointed. At the VentureBeat@GDC keynote address today, OnLive’s head man Steve Pearlman stated the service would officially launch on June 17 at a basic cost of $14.95 a month. The first 25,000 qualifed people to pre-register for OnLive will have that monthly fee waived for three months. Renting or purchasing of games on the service is a separate fee but no prices have been announced.
The service will support both PCs and Macs via a browser plugin. VentureBeat reports that OnLive will feature between 12 and 25 game titles at first including recent games like Mass Effect 2, Borderlands and Assassin’s Creed 2. More games will be added to the service over time. OnLive will later allow the service to run on televisions via a small set-top device. Today’s announcement of a June 17 launch date is a few months later than OnLive’s original plan to launch their service in the “winter 2009″ time period. The big question: Will this streaming game service perform as planned with hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of gamers signed onto OnLive?
