XL Axiata Commercial Director, Allan Bonke, said “The demand for mobile gaming service from AXIS customers continues to increase. This can be seen in the growing use of games by AXIS customers, who are indeed belonging to the segment of dynamic young people. We are launching the 'AXIS forever play' program and the new 'AXIS Unlimited Gaming' product to show our commitment to continue providing conveniences for mobile games enthusiasts, not just the gamers but also their fans, both in terms of product/ data plan as well as fast, high-quality internet connectivity."
Customers may activate this new product through the AXISnet application. There is an “Unlimited Gaming button” in the app to activate this feature. By switching the Unlimited Gaming button from “off” position to “on”, customers will automatically gain an extra quota of 1 GB per day for playing games as they please without reducing the main quota. The customers will continue to receive this bonus as long as the Unlimited Gaming button remains active.
This feature, according to Allan, is the first of its kind to be made available by a telecommunication services provider in Indonesia and worldwide. These breakthroughs represent AXIS’ commitment to become a mobile gaming internet access provider preferred by gamers and the e-sports industry.
The serious intention by XL Axiata in supporting and facilitating mobile gaming lovers and the e-sports industry in Indonesia is reflected in the company’s record of providing support towards the development of the mobile gaming industry. It has been sponsoring the largest e-sport tournament in Indonesia, KASKUS Battleground, since 2018, further expanding to include the President’s Cup in 2019. Not only that, starting from December 2019, AXIS is now sponsoring and collaborating with EVOS, one of the largest e-sports teams in Indonesia.
