Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2020) - Versus Systems, Inc. ("Versus") (CSE: VS) (OTCQB: VRSSF) (FSE: BMVA) is pleased to issue an update regarding positive recent corporate developments thus far in 2020.
In April and May of this year, Versus signed multiple deals that will drive both revenue and user growth. New agreements with Animoca Brands, Kast and HP will bring the potential reach of the Versus rewards platform to over 10 million machines by the end of 2020. These agreements will result in millions of dollars in revenues from the brands across Q2 and Q3 of this year, as well as additional and consequential revenues earned from the new users generated by these brand engagements. More details are set out below.
HP INC.
On May 28th, HP signed an agreement to expand their relationship with Versus - contracting with the global computing giant to extend the installation of Versus' rewards technology, called OMEN Rewards, into HP's Pavilion gaming series of laptops and desktops. These Pavilion gaming computers, aimed at a broader audience than the OMEN gaming devices that Versus launched in last year, are available at Best Buy, Walmart, Costco and other retailers.
Beyond expanding into the Pavilion gaming laptops and desktops in June of this year, the HP agreement also includes an Asia launch for later in 2020. The two growth areas combined will more than double the number of HP machines in which the Versus platform will come pre-installed.
