Over the past few months, Samsung has been beta-testing its new Cloud Gaming service. But now the company seems to be ready to make this service available to the public. Reports have it that this gaming service will officially launch on October 5th during the Samsung developer conference.
This won’t be like any other cloud gaming service that you might use or might have heard about. Unlike the greater number of cloud gaming services out there, this option from Samsung will be available on mobile devices. Yes, Samsung intends to launch this gaming service on their Galaxy smartphone and tablets, so users can enjoy games on the go.
By making mobile games available for streaming, Samsung aims to get rid of the traditional process of installing a game before one can play. It’ll encourage users to try out new games on the cloud without having to install them on their devices, and maybe later regret it. Users will also be able to save themselves some storage space by having a ton of games at their disposal whenever they are ready to play.
Details on the Samsung Cloud Gaming service that is preparing to launch
Already Samsung has a Game Launcher on their smartphone and this will serve as a host for the cloud gaming service. Users will be able to stream games online via this Game Launcher app on their smartphones. A few beta testers are already making use of this service as it prepares for a global launch.
The coming cloud gaming service will function similarly to other cloud gaming options out there. Some are even linking it to the Samsung Gaming Hub for the brand’s smart TVs. This cloud gaming service on Samsung smart TVs gives users the ability to pick from a wide array of games to stream on their TVs.
With the coming Samsung Cloud Gaming service for mobile devices, the brand hopes to generate some revenue. Currently, Samsung is running losses on its game-install-ad revenue due to certain restrictions. The Korean tech giant is now betting on its mobile cloud gaming service to generate some revenue via user engagement.
Their approach might appeal to a ton of users who don’t fancy the idea of having to install a game before they can try it out. With streaming, these users can simply play the game on the cloud and save their device storage for other things. Cloud game streaming is becoming more popular in the PC world, and bringing it to mobile devices might just see some success.
How the Samsung Cloud Gaming service for mobile will work is still unclear at this moment. However, in a few days, netizens might get to learn more about it and possibly put it to use. Would you be willing to try out this service on your Samsung Galaxy device once it rolls out?
