Today we gave you our thoughts on Samsung Gaming Hub, a platform from the South Korean company exclusive to its 2022 smart TVs and monitors. This service is promising because it tries to unify different cloud gaming services from one place; this way you can switch from Google Stadia to Xbox Cloud Gaming without leaving your TV.
Because yes, you will only need a Smart TV and a connected remote control. Well, that and the internet connection, obviously. The idea on paper is good, and according to the impressions of my colleague Javier, it fulfills its mission quite well.
Samsung and Microsoft, closer than ever thanks to the Gaming Hub
The fact is that taking advantage of the fact that we have also been there as a Samsung universe, we asked some questions to Tomás Alonso Román, who is the current communication director of Samsung in Europe. If you’re curious about the specific questions, you can read the full interview through this link.
However, what interests us is the collaboration between Microsoft and Samsung to develop the Gaming Hub technology. Because the two companies collaborated closely in its development, so much so that it was the Americans who threw a cable in the development of the resizing AI. According to Tomas Alonso:
For us, this was essential. They helped us develop the AI system that scales games so they work in the best possible way.
It’s clear and unmistakable that Microsoft is pulling out all the stops with cloud gaming, and if it has to push with other companies for that, it will.
