The service uses the company's proprietary cloud gaming engine, OOParts Engine, to run PC games on dedicated servers, allowing users to play them from a smartphone browser without downloading or installing. viviON positions the service as a way for users with limited time or no PC gaming experience to easily access PC games. It also lets players immediately launch games they discover through social media, events, or other media. For creators, the service requires no smartphone porting work and uses a per-game purchase model rather than a subscription, letting them distribute their games on smartphones without changing their value proposition. viviON GAMES will have a playable booth at BitSummit PUNCH, held at Kyoto Sangyo Kaikan Miyako Messe from May 22 to May 24. Playable titles include Night of the Sacrifice 3, Seifuku Kanojo, Kemonomics Re, One Way Heroics Plus, Terminus Historia: Border War, Return to Shironagasu Island, and Darugamari Hairei. The service's official X account has also launched.","why_it_matters":"By eliminating porting costs and using a purchase model instead of subscription, viviON GAMES could lower the barrier for indie and doujin PC game creators to reach mobile audiences, a segment DLsite's parent already dominates in distribution.","published_at":"2026-05-18T17:45:50.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Inside","GameBusiness.jp"],"citations":[{"source":"Inside","title":"Play PC games on your smartphone browser! viviON, operator of DLsite, announces cloud service","url":"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/05/18/181494.html"},{"source":"GameBusiness.jp","title":"Parent company of DLsite operator announces cloud service to play PC games on smartphone browsers: \"viviON GAMES\" lets you instantly enjoy games you're interested in with a one-time purchase","url":"https://www.gamebusiness.jp/article/2026/05/19/26974.html"}],"license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"announcement","domain":"games","is_roundup":false}}}
