The first ones to enjoy the free app are users of mobile devices in the US and UK, and it has been specified that the app will render the latest high-performance games available for instant play via Wi-Fi or mobile networks. Also, the company announced that OnLive games can be played with the new Universal OnLive wireless controller, compatible with most tablets and smartphones.

Apart from its Wi-Fi play novelty, OnLive has also revealed the compatibility with 4G LTE cellular service, which enables full, HD-resolution, low-latency cloud gaming wherever there’s 4G coverage on devices such as the HTC Jetstream, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Motorola Xoom.
