Samsung is working on its version of Cloud gaming for its Tizen TVs, the South Korean company made this announcement during its Developer Conference Keynote.
This new service will be available via its Tizen smart TV platform, the company didn’t release further information about the service. We are not left in the dark with details about games availability, cross-platform functionality and global availability.
Samsung isn’t technically late to the Cloud gaming race, it first partnered with Gaikai to run cloud gaming in its high-end TVs in mid-2012. While Cloud gaming isn’t overly saturated yet, the company is eying some market share from Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, and Amazon.
It already has a large amount of hardware as its TVs are scattered all over the continents. What matters right now is how strong its portfolio of games and gameplay. Samsung says that the creation of its own cloud gaming service is to allow “users to play the latest games on their Samsung Smart TV equipped with the Tizen platform.”
