Samsung Electronics announced exciting new ways for gamers to experience game streaming with the addition of new partners and the introduction of game streaming to select 2021 Samsung TV models and 4K games, further delivering on its promise of bringing the future of gaming to consumers across the globe.

Antstream Arcade is the world's largest cloud gaming service that provides players access to over 1,500 iconic games and weekly new multiplayer challenges and tournaments. Select Samsung TV owners will soon be able to battle their friends and the global community at the best games from the 80s, 90s and 00s, from Pac-Man to Mortal Kombat and Metal Slug.




"Antstream Arcade believes that combining gaming's past with gaming's future will push the industry forward to the next era of video games," said Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream Arcade. "What fulfills that promise better than retro arcade games played on Samsung's most advanced Smart TVs? Game streaming provides gamers with more opportunities to play games they love or classics they missed out on."

With a growing catalog of 500+ premium PC and console games, Blacknut's Cloud Gaming subscription based service offers the largest unlimited access to gaming content for TV screens. Blacknut allows a "click and play" experience, allowing up to five players to play simultaneously on any compatible smartphone, PC or Smart TV. Blacknut's library focuses on core and casual family members, delivering a wealth of titles spanning classic AAA games, indie favorites, story-driven adventures, strategy and also the largest collection of racing and sports games. Blacknut's members can enjoy acclaimed hits, such as Metro Exodus, Overcooked as well as a vast collection of Disney games.

"Blacknut is now bringing the largest Cloud Gaming catalog included in one subscription to Samsung, the number one game streaming destination," said Nabil Laredj, VP, Business Development & Licensing at Blacknut. "We designed Blacknut as a family gaming platform including five player profiles that can play simultaneously. Bringing our service to Samsung devices allows more gamers to experience the future of gaming."

Launching in 2023, both Antstream and Blacknut game streaming will become available to owners of select 2021, 2022 & 2023 Samsung TVs.

Bringing Cloud Games to Millions of 2021 Samsung Smart TV Owners
Rolling out through the end of the year, Samsung is giving more players access to game streaming through select 2021 Samsung Smart TVs. Samsung will make available individual apps from game streaming partners Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce NOW and Utomik, with Blacknut and Antstream Arcade coming in 2023. By expanding the game streaming experience to select 2021 Samsung Smart TVs, existing Samsung customers will now have instant access to the same games available through the Samsung Gaming Hub on 2022 Smart TVs and Monitors.

"When Samsung Gaming Hub rolled out earlier this year on 2022 TV models, the number one question we received was 'when is game streaming coming to my 2021 TV.' Today we are happy to share with our eager fans that they will be able to play the games they love before the end of this year," said Mike Lucero, Head of Product for Gaming at North America Service Business Team, Samsung Electronics. "With any leading Bluetooth-enabled gaming controller and internet connection, millions of players will be able to access an expansive library of games ranging from the best AAAs to the hottest indies and retro games directly through partner apps on select 2021 Smart TVs, making Samsung devices a preferred destination for game streaming."

Once available, the individual gaming apps can be downloaded from the Samsung App Store via the Media Hub directly on the TV.

4K Games Available on Samsung Smart TVs via NVIDIA's GeForce NOW
Rolling out in a few weeks, the offer will enable GeForce NOW players to stream PC games at up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second natively in 2022 and select 2021 Samsung Smart TVs without waiting for downloads, installs, patches or updates. GeForce NOW premium membership is required for an enhanced experience including 4K resolution, faster frame rates, RTX ON, priority access to NVIDIA gaming servers and extended eight-hour session lengths.

New way to play games that's you don't own on your personal devices at home!

Samsung: STREAMING! Brand new way to game. Stream them.....
(whispering off screen)

Samsung: [partially covers the mic as they speak to the voice off screen] what....? Google Stadia? Really? They streamed games? Uh huh.... Yeah....CLOSED?

Samsung: [clears throat] Yes, we'll be offering you a way to stream games on your TV. So, yeah, come do something new that you've been able to do before on other platforms.


I wonder how well this will last. I still don't see the benefit to streaming for a lot of people - it eats up bandwidth and if your ISP has you on a datacap, streaming games is kind of pointless. Also, I don't find it fun having a pass/subscription to material you don't own because contracts/ownership can change on you and games/movies/music you were able to listen to/watch/play is no longer available.

^^THIS^^

"streaming gams is da future, da future, I tellz ya !" how many times have we heard this empty promise over & over again in the past 10 years, yet here we are near the end of 2022, and we are STILL waitin on it to become a reality....

Plus, this article does NOT say anything about how/if they will fix the lingering latency/stuttering, reliability, and especially the security (of user's info) issues that have plagued every single streamin service since their inception :(

p.A.s.S.......

A friend of mine has a 14" TV that comes with 3 games: snake, a memory puzzle and tetris. You play with the remote. It's from 1996.

That was innovation.

That's within warranty. I'm sure they'll manage 13 months!

Ah wait, this isn't tied to a TV lol

3 months it is
