Nigerian Studio GBROSSOFT’s Outliver: Tribulation Joins Google Play Pass
Outliver: Tribulation, the story‑driven action‑adventure that has been turning heads since its Android launch, has officially joined Google Play Pass. The game, created by Nigerian studio GBROSSOFT, draws heavily on African folklore and mythology, weaving intense combat with atmospheric storytelling. The move to Play Pass means the game is now free for anyone with a subscription, giving it a massive boost in visibility and accessibility across the continent and beyond.
According to a May 4 announcement on Games Industry Africa, GBROSSOFT’s founder and creative director Mudathir Giwa said the partnership with Google is a “significant milestone.” He noted that being part of Play Pass “allows us to reach a wider audience and share African‑inspired stories with players around the world.” The game’s previous success on the Android platform—highlighted by its inclusion in the Google‑led Android Porting Challenge—set the stage for this new distribution channel.
Outliver: Tribulation is not just another action title; it’s a narrative experience that immerses players in a world where African legends come to life. Players battle mythic beasts, solve puzzles rooted in cultural lore, and uncover a plot that spans continents. The game’s design showcases the talent of GBROSSOFT’s small but dedicated team, and its inclusion in Google Play Pass is a testament to the growing recognition of African developers on the global stage.
The news comes at a time when the African gaming industry is gaining momentum, with more studios pushing creative boundaries and international platforms taking notice. GBROSSOFT’s success illustrates that local stories can resonate worldwide, and that platforms like Google Play Pass are opening doors for regional talent.
For the GACOM community, this development is a cue to explore games that reflect African heritage while enjoying the convenience of a subscription service. GACOM users can download Outliver: Tribulation on their Android devices and dive into a story that celebrates African mythos. The game’s availability on Play Pass also means that GACOM’s esports enthusiasts can keep an eye on potential competitive scenes that might emerge around such culturally rich titles. In short, GBROSSOFT’s achievement showcases the power of local storytelling and the growing ecosystem that GACOM is part of, encouraging gamers to support and celebrate homegrown talent.
