What you need to know
- Gaming subscription service, GameClub, launches on Android today after an earlier debut on iOS.
- It'll set you back $4.99 a month after a free trial.
- GameClub's library has 125 apps at the moment, with over a dozen of them being new to Android.
"Subscription is a healthier and less expensive way to enjoy games, eliminating the oppressive ads and loot boxes that define so-called free-to-play," said GameClub CEO Dan Sherman, "GameClub is the only service that brings these benefits to the entire world of iOS and Android gamers. We're expanding our offering to deliver affordable, skill-based entertainment to gamers everywhere, on nearly any mobile phone or tablet."
The GameClub library curated by Touch Arcade's Eli Hodapp, and is available for just $4.99 after a free trial. Gaming subscription services are becoming more popular. Apple launched Arcade last September, while Google has its own Play Pass and Stadia. GameClub doesn't quite have the breadth or market power of those two juggernauts, but for people who are into older mobile games, they could prove to be a useful service.
