German TV platform HD+ has expanded its TV app with more than 500 games from Couchplay, allowing users to play directly on their television using the remote control, without registration or an additional subscription.
The advertising-funded service offers a selection of games ranging from classics such as chess and solitaire to puzzles, skill-based games, quizzes and party games. It also includes titles developed specifically for television, including Couchquiz, Sunny Side Islands and Solitaire World.
Selected games support multiplayer sessions for up to four people using a single remote control.
The addition gives HD+ TV app users another entertainment option alongside its existing television services, enabling them to switch between watching programmes and playing games on the big screen.
“With Couchplay, we are adding a service to the HD+ TV app that fits seamlessly into the existing TV experience,” said Andreas Schulz, Head of Product Management at HD Plus. “Our users can easily switch between watching television and playing a game. This creates another way to use the television for entertainment.”
Vince Staybl, Managing Director of Couchplay, added: “Television is becoming interactive: the lean-forward generation wants more than just to watch – it wants to participate. Together with HD+, we are bringing free TV games to the big screen and turning the living room into a meeting place for instant, shared gaming.”
