The UGAME service is available for free during its beta launch phase, and subscribers can currently access World Rally Championship, The King of Fighters, and Metro 2033 Redux over 5G.

And via its GDK (game development kit), Ubitus provides a fast-to-market onboarding solution to support game companies and mobile network operators.
