Microids joins the ranks of great game publishers partnering with RemoteMyApp to make their titles available on the cloud. The French publisher has already licensed several of its top games to Deutsche Telekom’s MagentaGaming. This German cloud gaming platform, launched in August 2020, is powered by the best-in-class streaming technology supplied by RemoteMyApp (“RMA”).

Deutsche Telekom’s MagentaGaming subscribers can now experience an exciting mixture of action and adventure thanks to Astérix & Obelix titles, namely Asterix & Obelix XXL 2, Astérix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir, and Asterix & Obelix XXL – Romastered. Other Microids’ games licensed to MagentaGaming users via RMA are Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Garfield Kart – Furious Racing, Blacksad – Under the Skin, and Yakari Wild Ride.

Microids was established in Paris in 1985 by Elliot Grassiano. Apart from the well-known games mentioned above, the publisher possesses a varied catalog including franchises such as Syberia, an indie label (with games like Fallback and Murder Mystery Machine). My Universe – Cooking Star Restaurant or Professeur Rubik’s Brain Fitness, accessible through the Microids’ Life brand, are examples of more casual titles welcomed and appreciated by all generations.

We are looking forward to seeing more players trying our games.”

RMA is really excited to reveal that Microids is an official partner of ours.

They constitute a masterful recreation of many unforgettable literary works and television productions most people know and cherish. It was perfectly clear from the start that the great stories from Microids would captivate the players and increase the quality of any cloud gaming offering. We are excited to take this journey together.”

Dominik Lauf, Program Lead and Chief Product Officer at MagentaGaming from Deutsche Telekom also referred to the partnership: “Microids and RMA’s cooperation gives DT the opportunity to add highly valuable and well-known titles to our platform. At Magenta Gaming, we are now focused on the full game features adoptions, i.e. leaderboards, in-game achievements and multiplayer functions, to enable a superior user experience. We encourage developers and publishers to support us here. Of course, DT is rooting for this and any future content partnerships of RMA.”

Tipico, Germany’s leading sports betting provider, will continue as the Official Partner of the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. Before the end of the current agreement, Tipico and the DFL (Deutsche Fußball Liga) have agreed to extend their partnership, which began in 2018, through to the end of the 2028/29 season.

As part of this agreement, Tipico will continue to use the logos of both competitions and the two Meisterschalen (championship trophies) in its advertising. The company will also retain its extensive advertising rights, including first-access rights included in DFL’s media contracts, as well as a “Matching Offer Right” for all special advertising formats with national partners, and exclusivity within the industry. Tipico will also be integrated into digital Bundesliga platforms.

“We’re thrilled to extend this long-standing collaboration built on mutual trust. Over the years, Tipico has proven itself as a highly professional and reliable partner with a deep passion for football,” said Tobias Thöne, Director of Commercial Partnerships at Bundesliga International GmbH.

Kajetan Strini-Brown, Director of Sports Brand at Tipico, said: “We’re incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga! German football is at the heart of what we do, and that passion has always been deeply embedded in our DNA as a company. This extension is a key part of our strategic partnerships, which also include the DFB-Pokal, another major German football brand. Sponsorship, and the visibility it brings, plays an important role in guiding customers to the legal market.”

As outlined in the State Treaty on Gambling, the possibility to promote sports betting is an essential tool for guiding the deeply human drive to gamble into regulated and monitored channels. This plays a critical role in ensuring proper regulation of sports betting while counteracting illegal offerings. For more than 20 years, Tipico has been offering innovative, user-friendly, and secure sports betting products and has become the most popular brand for sports betting in Germany. In addition to continuous product development, Tipico has been working on modern player protection strategies for the last 15 years. The DFL has also long been committed to preventing match-fixing and gambling addiction in German professional football.
