THOMSON Computing has announced a strategic partnership with the web3 gaming platform Ultra!
This partnership will equip all METAVISIO – THOMSON Computing laptops with Ultra’s comprehensive gaming and entertainment ecosystem. It will enrich THOMSON Computing’s European-made devices with a wide selection of games, including the engaging tactical FPS Ashes of Mankind.
Ashes of Mankind is an expansive universe set in a dystopian future, comprising two interconnected games: AoM: Empires and AoM: Citadels. Empires emphasize the creation and trading of unique technologies and cosmetics that influence the gameplay in Citadels, which is an innovative PvP/PvE extraction MMO FPS.
Gus van Rijckevorsel, CEO of Ultra, commented, “By integrating Ultra’s gaming ecosystem into every THOMSON Computing laptop, we’re taking a bold step toward becoming the “Netflix of Gaming,” making high-quality games and experiences as accessible as streaming your favorite show.”
The collaboration between THOMSON Computing and Ultra is set to change how consumers access games, providing a seamless and integrated gaming experience right out of the box.
THOMSON’s high-performance laptops will come pre-installed with Ultra’s platform, combining advanced hardware with an expansive digital game library. This approach aims to simplify the user experience and establish new industry standards, much like how Netflix redefined film distribution.
Ultra is leading changes with its decentralized marketplace and rich content offerings, including immersive games and eSports tournaments, positioning itself as the “Netflix of Gaming.”
Stephan Français, Founder & CEO of METAVISIO – THOMSON Computing, stated, “At Thomson, we are driven by the goal of creating technology that enhances everyday life. With this partnership, we’re bringing users closer to next-generation gaming experiences by combining the best of our hardware with Ultra’s innovative ecosystem.”
This partnership takes advantage of THOMSON’s advanced hardware, which features integrated cold storage wallets for secure digital asset management, enhancing gameplay with smooth performance and high-quality graphics.
The alliance represents a shared commitment between THOMSON Computing and Ultra to challenge the prevailing tech industry standards, which are predominantly dominated by U.S. and Asian markets.
By incorporating Ultra’s web3 solutions into THOMSON’s devices, the partnership contests these established norms and positions Europe at the forefront of technological innovation and gaming.
“As a European company, we take pride in contributing to a future where European innovation sets the global standard. Partnering with Ultra showcases the strength of European tech, proving that we can lead the way in both gaming and digital transformation,” commented Français.
As a recognized entity listed on France’s Euronext Paris stock exchange, THOMSON Computing is leveraging this collaboration to support Ultra’s development into a fully operational, institutional-grade ecosystem. This venture is poised to attract institutional investors and elevate the status of gaming and blockchain technologies within European markets.
“Ultra will be the future of European gaming, and this vision will be materialized through partnerships like the one with THOMSON Computing and other major companies and funds that invest in leading enterprises,” added van Rijckevorsel.
