OnMobile Global Limited (“OnMobile”), the global leader in mobile entertainment announces the 100% acquisition of rob0, through its subsidiary OnMobile Global Solutions Canada Ltd. This investment is in continuation to the initial acquisition of 25% equity stake in May 2020.

This investment by OnMobile, is the second major step towards creation of ONMO, the D2C mobile cloud-gaming platform, after the acquisition of Appland AB, Sweden in October 2018. These strategic acquisitions lay the foundation of technologies which form the pillars of ONMO.
