Netgem TV Adds Hit Mafia Video Game to PLEIO Freely UK Streaming TV Box

Digital entertainment platform Netgem TV has today announced that their latest IPTV box – PLEIO, which includes support for the UK’s newest broadband-based live TV Freely streaming service, will on Saturday (21st Feb) add support for 2K’s global hit game ‘Mafia: Definitive Edition‘ (no other PC or console is required to play as PLEIO ships with a gamepad).

In case anybody has forgotten, PLEIO (retail via Amazon – affiliate link) is bundled by a number of broadband ISPs in the UK and can also be purchased at retail for £109.89 (NOTE: it will return to £99 from tomorrow until the end of Feb). The retail device typically ships with the added bonus of 12 months subscription to their premium content service (you don’t have to keep the subscription after it ends), which normally costs £9.99 per month.

The PLEIO subscription includes access to 250+ Cloud Games and 150+ extra TV channels, but it’s the cloud gaming service that we’re focused on today. In addition, the software’s UI (User Interface) has also been updated to include new “My List” and “Continue Watching” rows available on the home page, as well as content on the home page being expanded beyond Freely.

Sylvain Thevenot, MD of Netgem PLEIO, said:

“From the very beginning we envisioned PLEIO as a service that would keep customers entertained, because we’re absolutely committed to value for the consumer. Adding Mafia: Definitive Edition on PLEIO Gaming – included in the 12-month access to Cloud Gaming – is a real indication of what consumers can expect from PLEIO in the future. It’s a truly phenomenal, console-quality game, and we are excited to be the first ones in the UK to include it as part of a TV & Streaming service.”
