The gaming industry has evolved and the old reference of kids and males - even misfits - being the entire gaming community is no longer valid. There’s been a 79% increase in sponsored streams on Twitch and YouTube and there are good reasons for this.

The gaming industry has reached $220 billion and has no signs of slowing down. Gaming influencers are the second most followed personalities after music personalities. Gaming audiences are also highly engaged with the content they consume. Therefore brands are shifting strategies and budgets to be part of this massive community.

With 38% of gamers being between the ages of 18 to 34, the gaming space is ideal for reaching Gen-Z and young millennial consumers. The gender balance in gaming has also become way more balanced than many might assume, with 41% of gamers in the US identifying as female as per a study conducted in 2021.

Games have reached a stage of being hyper-customizable. With the current era of game development engines it has become increasingly easy and cost effective to tailor games and align it with a brand. In-game microtransactions are also a huge channel for brands to sell and drive feet back through the door.

Music is a universal language that has the power to bring people together, evoke emotions, and uplift spirits. For many artists, music is their passion and livelihood. However, it has always been a challenge for musicians to receive fair compensation for their work across the Pacific Islands. This is where Streamplay Studios' mJams music comes in. In a recent article published in the Post Courier, it was revealed that mJams music has delivered the first-ever royalties to artists in Papua New Guinea (PNG). In this blog article, we will explore what mJams music is and how it is making a difference in the lives of musicians in PNG.

mJams music is a product of Streamplay Studios, a South Pacific based music streaming and distribution service. The mJams music platform is designed to be a hub/platform that local music and content creators across the Pacific Island can call their own, with a heavy focus on preserving Local Island music by only allowing that artists from Pacific nations to join the application.

How is mJams music making a difference in the lives of musicians in PNG?

For many years, musicians in PNG have struggled to receive fair compensation for their work. This is due to the lack of proper systems in place to track and distribute royalties and proficient music rights legislation. However, with the introduction of mJams music, the music industry in PNG is set to change. The platform provides an easy way for musicians to distribute their music and get paid for their work. This has not only helped musicians to earn a steady income but has also helped to promote their work to a wider audience.

The recent article in the Post Courier highlights the success of mJams music in delivering the first-ever royalties to artists in PNG. This is a huge step towards empowering and supporting musicians in the region and allowing them to reach a wider audience and earn a living from their passion.

mJams' goal is to provide a platform for musicians to showcase their talent, connect with their fans, and earn a fair income from their hard work. With the help of local partner Telikom, mJams is able to reach more people and bring a positive impact on the music industry in PNG.

Every artist deserves to be fairly compensated for their work and this partnership is a step in the right direction toward making that a reality. By connecting artists with fans and providing them with new ways to monetize their music, mJams hope to create a thriving music ecosystem that benefits everyone involved.

In addition to providing a way for musicians to earn a steady income, mJams music has also helped to promote the work of PNG artists to a global audience.

All that is required for cloud based gaming is a subscription, a smartphone and an internet connection. These three pieces are all that’s needed to experience the next generation of gaming.

Telcos are in a great position to benefit from this shift in the gaming industry. By providing connectivity to end-users to support cloud gaming and the network infrastructure such as data centers for cloud gaming providers, telcos are setting themselves up for becoming a key part of the cloud gaming ecosystem.

Increased accessibility with free-to-play models are having high rates of success as shown by reports in the European gaming market. The free-to-play model has rapidly increased the trial and adoption of new games and in-game microtransactions has changed the gaming economy. On-the-go gaming is also seeing an increase in popularity on the back of the smartphone market penetration, which effectively turns and device into a high-powered computer with cloud gaming technology. Longer battery life for mobile devices, portable chargers and 5G internet speeds are also contributing massively to the cloud gaming shift.

Telcos in Europe are using bundling strategies and promoting their services cross platform to create new streams of revenue for their business.


Cloud gaming/game streaming is transforming the gaming industry like Netflix did the movie streaming industry.

With 5G and cloud gaming on the rise, Streamplay Studio has been working diligently to provide Africa’s biggest mobile service provider with a pioneering platform that offers users with the next generation of mobile gaming - 5G cloud gaming.

Cloud gaming, sometimes referred to as gaming on demand or gaming as a service, is a type of online gaming that runs video games on remote servers and streams them directly to a user’s device. For the users, this means no downloads of apps to a device, instant access to a library of playable games, while being console quality on your phone.

Arena 5G is a social competitive platform that differentiates itself from competition by offering premium games on a platform that offers competition-based tournaments where social gamers can compete to win prizes. Winners are selected in two ways; 1) leaderboards are incorporated in the tournaments and the top 3 players are rewarded with weekly and monthly prizes and 2) randomized spot prizes are awarded to players that participate on a regular basis. This system ensures an inclusive social experience aimed at a broad market of gamers ranging from top tier players to those who are just looking for a little bit of fun.

On Friday, 30 September 2022, Streamplay Studio and MTN pioneered a gaming experience by launching Arena 5G to MTN subscribers.

With music and video streaming services already firmly established both in technology and amongst consumers, gaming is hot on the heels. The challenge to date has been with providing gamers with a seamless and lag free experience. Longer format games have struggled to make the leap for these exact reasons and where some have been met with challenges, Streamplay Studio has seen the opportunity to offer short-format premium games to the market.

Streamplay’s new platform offers users with premium games streamed straight to a mobile phone, breaking down the barrier of needing the best hardware to play the best games. No downloads are required as users can instantly play a range of top tier games. As another point of differentiation, the Arena 5G platform also offers tournaments where gamers can compete in an esports format where top players are rewarded.

Thanks to contributions by Streamplay Studio, restrictions to premium games based on hardware and software are one step closer to being lifted!
