Samsunghas announced that its gaming platform is coming to older Samsung TVs.
Samsung Gaming Hubis already available on the last three generations of Samsung sets – from 2021 and on – but T3 has learned that it also plans to launch the service on its 2020 models. That means owners will be able to play the latest games on their televisions without the need of a console or PC, even if their TV is four years old.
The Gaming Hub is effectively a portal to a number of different cloud gaming services, including Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now. All you need is a supported game controller, such as the Xbox Wireless Controller, and an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and you can play the latest titles as they are launched.
