PortalOne

Currently accessible only via mobile devices, the company hosts daily 24-hour tournaments every day where players can compete in a variety of games across different genres, including Atari games, for which the company has the exclusive global distribution rights for many of its titles like 'Pong', 'Breakout' and 'Centipede'. These games are not just standalone experiences, but are integrated with TV shows broadcasted within the games themselves. Players play throughout the day with the goal of climbing the Leaderboards for each game, with the opportunity to win real prizes such as cash and holidays.

PortalOne's first show format, the 'Arcade Show' -- the TV component of hybrid games -- is hosted every single day in the PortalOne app. The show sees special guests come into the PortalOne universe and become immersed inside the game worlds as real characters. They play a round of a PortalOne game, and then players play against them on their mobile device at home. Previous guests on the Arcade Show include Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Tori Kelly, and Atari founder Nolan Bushnell.

The company has been operational since 2018 and has been steadfast in its mission to merge the best aspects of the gaming and TV industries. PortalOne's vision is to be the ultimate destination for hybrid games, in the same way that Spotify is for music and podcasts, and Netflix is for TV and film. PortalOne will host hundreds of games across all genres on its platform, with multiple show formats in its universe. The company also intends to become cross-platform. Currently operating in the US & Canada and Norway, PortalOne aims to be available worldwide with studios around the world producing localized TV shows for different geographies.
