Samsung is launching a new cloud gaming service on its Galaxy smartphones and tablets, with the service possibly reaching "1 billion" Galaxy devices as early as this week.

The cloud gaming service aims to remove game download times, enabling immediate streaming of mobile games without the need for downloading them from the Play Store or Galaxy Store.

Samsung plans to undercut the typical 30% service fees charged by other platforms to attract developers to its cloud gaming service.

The cloud gaming service has been integrated into the Samsung Game Launcher and has received positive feedback during ongoing testing.

This move follows Samsung's earlier ventures into cloud gaming, including the 2022 launch of Gaming Hub on its TVs, which integrated various cloud gaming services.

Serious question: do you or anyone you know use cloud gaming ever? I feel like people keep trying to push it and it inevitably fails because it's a product NOBODY is asking for!

For me it's mainly a nice backup for when the Xbox or TV is occupied by someone else. I don't think I'd use it as my prime source of gaming. It works but it's not quite as good as the actual playing on your own hardware.
