Having initially launched for PC browsers in July, Big Fish Games is now bringing its Unlimited streaming service to Android tablets.
As the company's VP of cloud gaming, Will O'Brien, remarked, "We're very excited to support the recently launched, exceptional Nexus 7 tablet. Instant cloud gaming is a perfect fit for this fast-performing device."
Other supported devices include Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus and Motorola Xoom.
Competitive advantage
The service will be made available via an app on Google Play.
Big Fish launched an early version of Unlimited on the App Store in late 2011 but Apple pulled the app for reasons that have never been made entirely clear.
Big Fish Unlimited will be made available for iOS devices at some point too, although given the previous issue - likely to do with subscription - this may be via browser rather than app.
Going global
More generally, despite the problems suffered by OnLive since Big Fish Unlimited launched, the company says it's been happy with its take up.
No numbers have been detailed, but Big Fish says that consumers from all states of the US are using it, while players from over 100 countries have registered their interest.
Big Fish Unlimited is currently only available in the US and offers a premium catalog of casual games for $7.99 per month, or an ad-supported limited selection for free.
