About The Company
Gamers now spend more time watching games than playing them. 8.5 hours watching. 7.4 hours playing. 200 billion hours a year, stuck behind glass. That's not a content problem. That's a format problem. Ludeo built the technology to solve it. Our GGM (Generative Gameplay-state Model) turns any gaming video, stream, or text description into an instantly playable moment in the real game. The GGM generates a game state data file - the game's art is never touched. That file loads into a dedicated cloud-hosted game build and renders in the real engine. Nothing approximated. Nothing modified. The real game, instantly. Trusted by the studios that define the industry. 50+ patent claims filed. Built by a team with decades inside Activision Blizzard, Microsoft Gaming, and Disney. Audio was for listening. Video was for watching. Ludeo is for playing.
