Onmo+ has launched a Smart Console in India that swaps local hardware muscle for cloud gaming, bundling a console, a Pro Controller, and three months of gaming access into one Rs 4,999 package. It is a tidy pitch for anyone who wants a console-like setup without buying a console, though the real test is whether cloud gaming can feel convincing enough once the network starts acting like a network.
The Onmo+ Smart Console is aimed at both casual players and more dedicated gamers, and it works across TVs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. That cross-device approach is where the category is heading anyway: Microsoft, Nvidia, and Sony have all spent years normalizing the idea that the screen matters less than the subscription and the connection behind it.
What the Onmo+ Smart Console includes
The bundle is built around simplicity. Buyers get the Smart Console itself, a Pro Controller, and a three-month Onmo+ subscription that opens the door to hundreds of ready-to-play games.
- Smart Console for cloud gaming
- Pro Controller included in the box
- Three-month Onmo+ subscription
- Access to hundreds of games
That library includes titles such as ”The Forgotten City,” ”Arise: A Simple Story,” ”AO Tennis 2,” and ”Gravity Circuit.” More games are expected to be added over time, which is the polite way of saying the catalog will have to keep growing if Onmo+ wants people to renew after the trial runs out.
AMD and ASRock Rack power the cloud side
Instead of relying on local processing, the Smart Console streams games from remote cloud servers. Onmo+ says the platform also supports compatible AAA titles through custom-built GPU servers developed with AMD and ASRock Rack, with infrastructure deployed across northern and southern India.
That regional server footprint matters because cloud gaming lives or dies on latency, and latency is the invisible tax that makes slick demos turn into frustration. Onmo+ is effectively trying to make an internet connection behave like a living room console, which is a bold ambition in a market where broadband quality still varies wildly from address to address.
Price and Flipkart availability
In India, the Onmo+ Smart Console costs Rs 4,999, or about $53. The introductory package is available through Flipkart, making this a relatively low-cost entry point for players curious about cloud gaming without spending on dedicated hardware.
If Onmo+ can keep the experience smooth and the catalog fresh, it has a shot at turning cloud gaming from a novelty into a habit. If not, it joins the long list of services that sounded futuristic right up until users checked the ping.
