Samsung brings top-notch cloud gaming to Australians via Gaming Hub

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Samsung's Gaming Hub platform, one of the most innovative cloud-based gaming services, is now becoming available in Australia. Owners of select Samsung smart TVs and smart monitors released in 2023 can now game on their big-screen devices without needing specialized hardware, save for a gaming controller.

Gaming Hub offers access to leading cloud-based gaming platforms, including Xbox and Nvidia GeForce Now, directly on Samsung TVs. Since its release in mid-2022, the Gaming Hub app exposed millions of Samsung smart TV users to quality gaming without breaking the bank, and it is now available to thousands – if not millions – more Samsung customers in Australia.

You need to own one of these devices

Samsung says the Gaming Hub platform is available to Australians who own select 2023 Samsung smart TVs and monitors. Here is the complete list of compatible devices:

Neo QLED 8K TVs (QN900C)
Samsung OLED TVs (S95C, S90C)
Neo QLED 4K TVs (QN95C/QN90C, QN85C/Q80C, Q60C)
UHD TV (CU8000)
QLED TV (Q60B/C)
The Frame 32-inch lifestyle TV (LS03C)
Smart Monitor M-Series (M80C, M70C, M50C)
Odyssey Smart Gaming Monitors (Odyssey Ark, Odyssey OLED G95SC, Odyssey OLED G85NC,
Odyssey Neo G70B, and Odyssey G65B)
High Resolution Monitor (S90PC).

You may have noticed that 2022 models are missing from the list, despite the fact that, in other markets, Gaming Hub is available on TVs and smart monitors Samsung released last year.

Fret not, as the Korean tech giant will expand availability to more models. According to the company, Gaming Hub will become available for select 2022 Samsung smart TVs and monitors beginning this month.

More specifically, from August 2023, Australians will have access to Gaming Hub on 2022 devices, including:

Neo QLED 8K TV (QN900/800B)

Samsung OLED TV (S95B, S90B)
QLED TV (Q60B)
Odyssey Gaming monitors (G97NB, G85SB, G70/65B)

Vice President-Consumer Electronics at Samsung Australia, Jeremy Senior, said the company “is committed to pushing the boundaries of display AI innovation to enable our Smart TVs and Monitors to deliver the very best entertainment experiences including gaming.”

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
