A first for the company, the entire Blacknut catalog of games will be accessible via an iPhone or iPad across 40 different countries. Blacknut's catalog includes a wide variety of both PC and console games with titles from major publishers such as [Square Enix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nier-automata), Deep Silver, Disney, [Wired Production](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interconnected-messaging-ecosystem), and Deep Silver. In addition, the service is compatible with Bluetooth-enabled controllers, meaning users can connect their wireless Xbox, Playstation, or PC controllers to the Blacknut app and begin playing games on the fly. While competing with the likes of [Xbox Game Pass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-cloud-gaming-1) (Microsoft's cloud gaming service) and Google Stadia is no small challenge, Blacknut has carved out room for itself within the cloud gaming space by offering affordable subscriptions and access to a diversify catalog of games.
