DACSLABS Celebrates 50 Games at MACH50!

Erkrath, Germany, February 20, 2024 – The ROCKITPLAY FastStart download service is now live on Robot Cache and reduces game start times from hours to minutes or seconds. Robot Cache is the first global game store to end players' frustration over hour-long game downloads and patching timeouts, opening a new paradigm of game delivery. Similar to streaming video and music, ROCKITPLAY FastStart enables any PC game to start almost instantly, right after starting the download.
 
“I was skeptical at first. It sounded too good to be true, but the technology delivers. Today, FastStart games on Robot Cache start up to 200X times faster than on Steam or any other game store, providing an unmatched user experience", said Lee Jacobson, CEO at Robot Cache.
 
The FastStart Ready game collection already includes over 50 curated titles, and the list grows each week. Most titles start in seconds, converting up to 99% of wait time into play time. Unlike Steam, or any other store that employs a conventional full download, only a small fraction of the game download is required to start gameplay.

ROCKITPLAY FastStart works by utilizing a breakthrough storage architecture that writes data sequentially, using machine learning to deliver the data needed first to start gameplay. And while gamers enjoy playing, the rest of the download continues in the background.
 
“German Engineering lives up to its reputation with ROCKITPLAY FastStart. We have worked side by side with the DACSLABS team and tailored the solution to our gamers’ needs”, said Mark Caldwell, CTO at Robot Cache. “Bringing this technology into Robot Cache almost completely eliminates wait time for game downloads. With FastStart our players can finally stop thinking about scheduling downloads and just start playing!”
 
For best performance, Robot Cache uses Akamai’s low-latency content delivery network to serve its FastStart games.
 
“Akamai developed low latency content delivery to lay a foundation for innovation. Robot Cache with ROCKITPLAY FastStart is blazing the trail by slashing game start times powering a new era of click-to-play gaming”, said Thomas Stark, Sales Manager EMEA Media at Akamai Technologies.
