PLEIO is making a heavy-hitting play for your May Bank Holiday weekend. Netgem just confirmed that its UK-based cloud service has hit a library milestone, now offering over 300 games without a single download or console in sight. Leading the pack is 2K’s Mafia: Definitive Edition, a game we’ve tracked closely since it was announced for PLEIO back in February. You can finally step into 1930s Chicago as Tommy Angelo and start climbing the ranks of the Salieri crime family directly on your TV.
Supercars, Smurfs, and the Open Road
The update isn’t just about organized crime, though. PLEIO’s latest additions cover a lot of ground if you’re looking for something faster or a bit more family-friendly. Hot Wheels Unleashed and Gear.Club Unlimited 2 are both ready to go, offering two very different takes on racing. Gear.Club focuses on the supercar lifestyle. Hot Wheels is all about high-speed havoc on those iconic orange tracks.
For those who want to slow things down, the atmospheric mystery of Amerzone and the open-road grind of On The Road Truck Simulator are also in the mix. If you have kids in the house, The Smurfs Village-Party adds 50 mini-games to the pile to keep the living room busy.
Netgem TV Transforms into an All-in-One Hub
Netgem is positioning this update as part of the “Watch Stream Play” ecosystem. If you’re already using Netgem TV in the UK, this turns your living room setup into a full-on entertainment hub. You aren’t just getting these six titles; you’re getting the full library of 300+ games. With the long weekend coming up, it’s a solid time to see how the service handles these heavier AAA ports.
Pro Tip: If you’re struggling with the “Fair Play” race mission in Mafia, don’t just lean on the brakes. Tapping the ram button while turning helps kick the car’s back end out. It makes it much easier to clear those tight chicanes without losing your lead.
Mafia: Definitive Edition Is Just the Start for PLEIO
The arrival of Mafia: Definitive Edition is a significant step for PLEIO as it begins to attract more recognizable names from publishers like 2K. Combined with the family-friendly variety of the Smurfs and Hot Wheels, the service is carving out a niche for UK households that want a console-like library without the actual box under the TV. Whether you’re hauling freight in a truck simulator or running a criminal empire, the PLEIO library is looking much more capable as we head into the summer.
