3D Realms Partners with Game xStream for Exclusive Online Distribution of Prey.

LOS ANGELES -- DiStream announced today at E3 that Game xStream, the first dedicated service for on-demand digital distribution of graphic-intensive video games, will power the online distribution of the coming blockbuster video game, Prey from 3D Realms. Prey is the first release distributed through Game xStream for 3D Realms, and represents a long-term partnership that will continue with future games.

Game xStream enables game publishers to offer graphic intensive games, like Prey, for distribution and sale online. A key to Game xStream's appeal is its dynamic streaming, which takes place in the background even after the game has been started. This allows gamers to start playing games within minutes of pressing the "Buy" button, not hours later, after the full game has been downloaded. The entire process is transparent and hassle-free -- without any support from developers.

"Gamers will be able to pre-order and pre-load Prey onto their hard drives, ready for instant activation and play upon the official release date," said 3D Realms CEO, Scott Miller. "Or, after the official release, players will be able to buy the game and begin playing in minutes, as if the full game was already downloaded. This is what sets Game xStream apart from anything else the industry has seen."

The Game xStream high-performance delivery system provides a reliable and extremely scaleable gaming-on-demand solution for hardcore gamers, service providers, content providers, game developers, and publishers giving them the fastest deployment of any online gaming system.

"Together 3D Realms and Game xStream are ushering in a whole new secure delivery platform that gives consumers the ability to play a game as soon as it's released," said Terry Nagy, Vice President of Business Development for Game xStream. "Working with 3D Realms on the first online distribution of the high profile release of Prey is a strong vote of confidence for the Game xStream service."
