Singtel and Riot Games Southeast Asia have partnered to offer the world’s first zero-rated gaming bundles for League of Legends: Wild Rift. Zero-rating refers to exempting the data used for a particular activity from counting towards the data cap of the user's subscription. Such data will not accumulate excess usage charges.

The five-player-versus-five-player (5v5) Wild Rift mobile multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) brings the excitement of League of Legends, the world’s most-played PC MOBA and most watched e-sports game, to players on the go.

Exclusive to Singtel postpaid mobile customers, the newly unveiled RiotGO and RiotGO+ gaming bundles provide players with unlimited data-free gameplay, as well as up to S$40 worth of Wild Rift in-game content.

At launch, all Singtel 5G customers, including XO Plus 5G customers, will get a complimentary three- month subscription of RiotGO or RiotGO+. All other Singtel postpaid mobile customers will receive a complimentary one-month subscription to a bundle of their choice.

Gan Siok Hoon, MD, Sales & Marketing, Consumer Singapore, Singtel, said, “Mobile gaming has surged in popularity in the past year as more people turned to them for fun and entertainment during the pandemic. Seventy-six percent of our customers play games on their mobile phones and we’re excited to elevate their gaming experience with Singtel 5G and our strategic partnership with Riot Games.

"Customers can leverage RiotGO and RiotGO+ to ''max out their loadout' to enhance their Wild Rift gameplay. With fast performance being a key consideration in mobile gaming, Singtel 5G customers will also get an ultra-responsive and smoother gaming experience on Singapore’s most powerful 5G network.” 

 Within the first week of its regional open beta last October, Wild Rift was received with great enthusiasm, topping App Store and Google Play game charts in Singapore and every other market that the game was released in. With the recent announcement of the Wild Rift SEA Icon Series, the stage is set for Riot Games Southeast Asia’s expansion of mobile e-sports.

“Singapore has always been an important market for us as a mobile-first nation, and we are thrilled to partner with Singtel to deliver a world-first with RiotGO. This exciting offering attests to our commitment to constantly deliver exciting, innovative, and rewarding experiences to our players. Not forgetting with Singtel 5G, players can look forward to an off-the-charts mobile gaming experience when they play Wild Rift, be it at home or on-the-go,“ said Justin Hulog, GM, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, Riot Games.

NVIDIA: good things comes in threes

NVIDIA has released a new Game Ready Driver for Apex Legends and two other games, and a bundle for GeForce RTX GPUs that includes Metro Exodus, Anthem, and/or Battlefield V. Additionally, there are three new G-SYNC Compatible Displays.

The latest GeForce Game Ready driver will optimise the Apex Legends experience, as well as that for Devil May Cry 5 and Tom Clancy's Division II.

Game Ready Drivers are available on or before launch day for most major titles and are tuned for best performance and flawless gameplay. Every Game Ready Driver is also Microsoft WHQL-certified.

A new Triple Threat bundle

Buy an eligible GeForce RTX 2080 Ti or 2080 GPU, desktop and laptop and get Metro Exodus, Anthem, and/or Battlefield V. If gamers buy a GeForce RTX 2070 or 2060 GPU, desktop or laptop, they can pick one of the three.

Three more G-SYNC Compatible Displays

GeForce gamers can play their new titles on a trifecta of new G-SYNC-compatible displays. The G-SYNC Compatible programme expands the G-SYNC ecosystem, and aims to bring consistency and educate consumers on which displays will provide a good entry level variable refresh rate (VRR) experience.

Three new monitors have been added to the list of G-SYNC Compatible Displays: the BenQ XL2540-B/ZOWIE XL LCD, Acer XF250Q and Acer ED273 A.

Under the G-SYNC Compatible programme, NVIDIA works with monitor original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to validate the experience on monitors that support the AdaptiveSync protocol. Those that pass are designated as G-SYNC Compatible.
