The social music gaming platform now lets fans combine their selection of nine engaging games with a selection of hundreds of popular songs from top artists. Bopler Games has also added enhanced social functions, including the popular ‘Tournaments’ feature, which both give players a fun way to compete against each other and win incentives.
“We are elated that Bopler Games has received such attention from the music industry,” commented CEO Albin Serviant. “We have established an enthusiastic user-­‐base during the beta period, as well as a tremendously positive response from record labels, music publishers and musicians. We look forward to continuing our upgrades and catalogue expansion in advance of the official launch in the coming weeks.”
With the positive momentum in user engagement as well as artist, label and publisher partnerships, the platform is displaying significant potential for monetising music across social networking platforms. Incorporating user feedback on a daily basis to upgrade and improve the gaming and social experience, MXP4 is on track to move to commercial launch early in the New Year.
