Walmart s Game Streaming Service, Which Was Never Announced, Detailed In New Documents
There s a possible new entrant in the budding streaming wars, and it s apparently the retail giant Wal-Mart.
The Epic v Apple lawsuit is currently underway, and several very interesting pieces of information about Epic and Apple s businesses have already come to light. What
no one could have expected was that the trial would also reveal that Wal-Mart is apparently working on a games streaming service.
As reported by The Verge, previously confidential Epic emails have detailed the experience of playing Wal-Mart s service, codenamed Project Storm. Epic co-founder Mark Rein discussed actually going hands-on with Project Storm all the way back in April 2019, right around when rumors of the service first began popping up. In the email thread, Rein described the experience as similar to playing on PS4 and superior to playing on Android or iOS.
