MUMBAI: Visiware, which publishes interactive television games, has launched the new version of its interactive games channel Playin’TV on Sky TV in New Zealand.

Playin’TV is looking to innovate by offering a new games portal for the entire family, especially designed to satisfy the needs of its subscribers. Improvements of the channel include:

- A simpler and more user-friendly navigation (game classification per category).

- More games (34 on Sky TV).

- Optimal downloading times.

Available in New Zealand on Sky TV, channel 50, the new portal with unlimited access to 34 games, is available for only $595 per month. To celebrate the launch, the first month for April subscribers will cost $1.

Visiware senior VP Pascal-Hippolyte Besson says, “The Playin’TV games portal which Sky subscribers in New Zealand can now enjoy is the result of many years of research and development. Its features make it a highly ergonomic product which meets the needs of our subscribers by providing a greater gaming experience. The new version of our Playin’TV portal will be deployed progressively throughout the world, starting with Dish Echostar in the US”.
