Boosteroid subscribers and users

Boosteroid reports 8 million+ users as of early 2026

• Boosteroid states it serves more than 8 million users (also described as players or subscribers in company materials) across Europe, North America, and South America.
• The Whale TV / 4K TV launch post (January 5, 2026) and AMD partnership post (April 9, 2026) repeat the 8 million+ figure in company boilerplate.
• Boosteroid does not file public SEC reports; user counts come from Boosteroid’s own blog and corporate pages.

Boosteroid is the largest independent cloud gaming provider globally

• “Independent” means Boosteroid is not owned by a major gaming platform (unlike Xbox Cloud Gaming / Microsoft, GeForce NOW / NVIDIA, or PlayStation Cloud / Sony).
• It operates its own physical GPU server infrastructure — a rarer approach in a field where most providers rent cloud capacity from AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.

Boosteroid game library and model

Boosteroid supports 1,700+ games using a “Bring Your Own Game” model

• 1,700+ titles are supported — pre-installed on Boosteroid servers (“Ready-to-Play”).
• The BYOG model: users must own games on Steam or Epic Games Store. Boosteroid streams them — it does not sell the games itself.

Pricing: €12.89–€14.89/month

• Ultra plan: €12.89/month — standard resolution and frame rate.
• Ultra Pro plan: €14.89/month — higher resolution.
