InstantAction.com says most PC games can run via their browser service


Some of you may already be familiar with the InstantAction.com web site. The venture from indie game developer-publisher GarageGames has been in open beta testing for nearly a year and has offered a number of 3D action and arcade titles from their own company and third parties that can be run via a web browser page.

But that apparently wasn't the whole story. Our sister site GameDaily is reporting that InstantAction.com is even more ambitious and is launching their new InstantAction Technology today, along with removing the "beta" tag from the actual web site. The company claims that almost any PC game, even those on the high end of graphics, could be run via their technology on a web browser page.

In a chat with InstantAction general manager Andy Yang, he claims, " We have integrated existing PC games in as little as 1-2 hours." In addition they can add features like chat, matchmaking, leaderboards and more. Once the game is ported over to the InstantAction.com service, Yang states, "The business model is anything the developer/publisher wants it to be," While free-to-play versions are an option a publisher could also support ads and microtransactions for their games.

InstantAction obviously wants other developers and publishers to use their technology. Yang states, "We have a number of conversations happening right now that we can't talk about, but we do expect to make some exciting announcements in the coming year."
