  • 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.

    The blurb says you can immediately play mobile games without needing to download them from the play store.

    I’m confused as to who this service is meant for. Like I could maybe see it if it was PC or console games, though a phone still sounds like an awful medium to play those kind of games on, plus there’s the latency that makes it unattractive to me on any platform. But a streaming service for mobile games!?
