With millions of people stuck at home across the globe due to the fast spread of the Coronavirus, it becomes hard to pass time. In several countries, schools are being closed, kids are at home and parents are being urged to do home office.
AirConsole is a cloud based video game console that is accessible from every home through the web browser. Smartphones are used as gamepads. No additional hardware is required for a full video game console experience. AirConsole boasts a library of 150 games across a variety of genres. Like many other businesses, the AirConsole team has recently switched to remote work in order to stick to safety guidelines.
"We are taking the situation very seriously, and want to do what we can to help people pass time at home," says Alice Ruppert, Head of Games at AirConsole. "Today we've decided to give everyone access to the full platform for free for two weeks. We know that a lot of people are affected by lockdowns and quarantines at the moment, and that many will be looking for new forms of entertainment."
"Because AirConsole does not require any additional hardware to play, apart from a computer and some smartphones, it is ideal in times like these," says AirConsole's Tech Lead Francois Weber. "We provide instant entertainment to families that are stuck at home during the outbreak."
With the promotional code "919 2020" anyone can get two weeks of full access to AirConsole's 150 games, which are normally available as part of a monthly subscription called AirConsole Hero.
