WildTangent: Casual Online Games

WildTangent is a game software company that develops casual online games and distributes a game app through partnerships with computer manufacturers. Their app automatically installs with new PCs and laptops, providing a library of casual games.

What is WildTangent?

WildTangent is a privately held game software and web services company based in Redmond, Washington. Founded in 1998, WildTangent develops casual games and game streaming technology, as well as operates online game services.

A key offering from WildTangent is their Game app and game library. Through partnerships with major computer manufacturers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Toshiba, the WildTangent Game app comes pre-installed on new Windows PCs and laptops. This provides consumers with immediate access to a library of over 1,000 casual games right out of the box, without having to install anything additional.

The games provided by WildTangent span genres like puzzle, arcade, strategy, and card games. They are developed both in-house by WildTangent's game studios as well as through licensing deals with third-party game developers. The games are free-to-play, meaning users can download and play without paying, but in-game advertisements and microtransactions provide revenue.

In 2013, WildTangent's game app and partnerships were installed on over 100 million new PCs shipped worldwide. The company has also expanded offerings for web-based streaming of games through their WildTangent Orb service. Overall, WildTangent's goal is to provide easy access to high-quality casual games through pre-installed apps and instant streaming.
