Here is the press release:

Los Angeles, Calif. (E3 Expo 2011) — June 2, 2011 — OnLive, Inc., today announced an agreement with Disney Interactive Studios to add its family-friendly games to the OnLive platform.

Disney Interactive Studios is a multi-platform publisher that creates interactive entertainment based on the vast portfolio of Disney character franchises, in addition to properties based on original intellectual properties. Now, with the unique features of OnLive's instant-play cloud gaming, players can experience them in a new, highly social way on almost any PC, Mac or HDTV.

“ We are thrilled to be working with Disney Interactive Studios to provide further video game content through OnLive,” said OnLive Founder and CEO Steve Perlman. “ With OnLive, the fun, imaginative, immersive worlds of Disney can be experienced and shared instantly. At the same time, OnLive continues to broaden its reach with amazing games that appeal to all age groups and all types of gamers.”

The first two Disney Interactive Studios games to join OnLive, Split/Second and Pure, won consecutive Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 in the racing game category. During an OnLive promotion in June 2011, when you buy either game, you'll receive an email coupon for 50% off your next OnLive purchase. More great Disney Interactive Studios titles will be released in the coming weeks and months.
