Batman: Arkham City has broken the record for the number of players playing an on game streaming service OnLive.

The demo allows players to experience the first 30 minutes of the game and then gives them the option to buy it and continue from where they left off.

OnLive boss Steve Perlman said: "The record-shattering performance of the demo shows that gamers recognize the immense advantages of playing free trials on the platform."

He added: "OnLive makes the 'try-before-you-buy' experience effortless, and it's quickly becoming gamers' go-to destination for instant-play demos and early exclusives."

Thanks IndustryGamers.
