It downloads a small part of the game to a user\u2019s hard disk, enough to start playing very quickly, while the rest continues to download to their PC. As games are played directly from a consumer\u2019s own PC \u2013 it is lag-free play and has 100% original quality.<\/p>\n<p>With a Utomik monthly gaming subscription, normally priced at $9.99 per month but discounted to $5.99 during open beta, consumers can play as many games featured on the service as they like, for as long as they want. Today, 145 games are available to choose from with more added each week. Utomik has secured publishing contracts for 600 titles including AAA, Indie and casual games as well as timeless classics and unexpected gems. Utomik\u2019s service is advertisement-free.
