Video game system developer Ouya started offering access to its whole game library on Monday for a nonrefundable fee of $59.99 for a full year.
The company is responsible for creating a $99 game system that runs on a modified version of Google's Android mobile operating system, according to CNET. It is looking to use its new offer to get more players interested in its platform.
Ouya said the program only applies to one-time purchases under $30, which include downloadable content and full-game unlocks.
The company's offer follows a change made to its policy in March, in which developers were allowed clearance to create paid games that don't feature free demo versions or in-app purchases, Ars Technica reported.
Ouya said its new deal, called Ouya All-Access, is not a permanent offer that customers will be able to renew every year, CNET reported.
"Ouya All-Access is a pilot subscription program we're offering to new and existing Ouya users for a limited time only," the company said. "For the price of one console game, players receive access to the entire Ouya catalog of more than 800 titles, for a full year. It's just one of many things we're exploring to give players the best value, and developers the best visibility. Results of this test will dictate if/how we proceed with an official subscription program."
All-Access follows Google's I/O developers conference last week. Google, which provides Ouya with its software, used the event to introduce Android T, its own big-screen software initiative that will include gaming, such as Android mobile games as well as console gaming, CNET reported.
The price for Ouya's Premium games ranges from $1 and $20, but the company also has free-to-play games that come with in-game purchases. Premium games will be unlocked in All-Access, but customers will stay have to pay for extra downloadable content, VentureBeat reported.
Ouya was created in 2012 by video game industry veteran Julie Uhrman, and first gained attention with a Kickstarter campaign aimed at raising $950,000 for an Android console capable of working on TVs. The project received $8.6 million from over 60,000 contributors.
