hizi.io and FTS Gaming forge strategic partnership to power Africa's next gaming wave
hizi.io (formerly hinterzimmer.io) has entered into a technology partnership with FTS Gaming, providing its certified Remote Gaming Server (RGS) to support the development of the new South African game studio. This collaboration brings world-class, locally relevant gaming entertainment experiences to the African market.
FTS Gaming's content is hosted and distributed through the hizi.io RGS platform, a flexible and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified infrastructure for game deployment. That means faster development, smoother performance, and a better experience for players.
The milestone marks a major step for South Africa's emerging gaming industry, combining global technical expertise with authentic African storytelling and design.
Robert Lenzhofer, CEO of hizi.io, said:
"We are very excited to have been chosen by FTS Gaming to provide the company with our market-leading RGS. We are going to support FTS Gaming on their journey within South Africa and beyond. This relationship will test and showcase our technical capabilities to provide a highly scalable RGS solution."
