- Samsung is launching a new cloud gaming service on its Galaxy smartphones and tablets, with the service possibly reaching “1 billion” Galaxy devices as early as this week.
- The cloud gaming service aims to remove game download times, enabling immediate streaming of mobile games without the need for downloading them from the Play Store or Galaxy Store.
- Samsung plans to undercut the typical 30% service fees charged by other platforms to attract developers to its cloud gaming service.
- The cloud gaming service has been integrated into the Samsung Game Launcher and has received positive feedback during ongoing testing.
- This move follows Samsung’s earlier ventures into cloud gaming, including the 2022 launch of Gaming Hub on its TVs, which integrated various cloud gaming services.
I’m also scratching my head on this. Maybe they have plans for high quality mobile games like RE: Village arriving on iOS? I can’t see much reason to stream what we currently have.
There’s so much potential in mobile gaming. So unfortunate we have crapshoot games though.
