Blacknut‘s continuing its global momentum as it heads to São Paulo for Gamescom LATAM 2026. From April 30 to May 3, the company will be at the Distrito Anhembi to join the largest gaming festival and business hub in Latin America. Nabil Laredj, the VP of New Business, is attending. He’ll represent the company as it explores new growth in the region. This visit follows a busy tour that included stops at GDC 2026, GITEX Africa, and the NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas.
The event this year is particularly interesting. The reason being it integrates the BIG Festival, which puts a spotlight on indie games all week long. Blacknut is using this platform to showcase how its cloud technology can help indie developers reach a massive audience without the usual hardware limitations. This makes it easier to find and play unique games. Most of which might otherwise stay hidden in a crowded digital storefront.
Expanding the Footprint in Latin America
The Latin American market is a critical part of the Blacknut global strategy. The company already has strong partnerships with major regional telcos, including TotalPlay, Claro, and VIVO. This builds on their previous partnership with Digital Virgo to expand service across the region. These collaborations allow gamers to access high-quality play through their existing phone or internet plans. It is a smart way to bypass the hardware wall that often keeps premium gaming out of reach in many parts of the world.
Blacknut currently reaches over 65 countries. And its presence in LATAM continues to grow. By working directly with local operators, the company ensures that its cloud library is accessible on the devices you already own. Whether you’re using a smartphone or a Smart TV. The goal is to provide a seamless way to play without worrying about hardware specs or local storage space.
Smart TV Strategy Takes Centre Stage in São Paulo
Beyond mobile partnerships, Blacknut’s continuing its heavy push into the Smart TV market. The company currently powers gaming on over 100 million connected TVs worldwide through deals with LG, Samsung, and Hisense. This Smart TV-first cloud gaming approach is a central part of the pitch at Gamescom LATAM. It turns a standard living room television into a full gaming hub. Making the cloud a key part of the home entertainment environment.
The current catalogue features over 1,000 premium games. Ranging from family-friendly games to AAA hits and iconic IPs. This includes titles added through the partnership with ESDigital Games earlier this year. By attending Gamescom LATAM, Blacknut is sending a big signal that it intends to remain at the centre of the cloud gaming conversation in one of the fastest-growing markets in the world.
