Samsung’s smartphones and tablets come pre-installed with the company’s Gaming Hub application, which was previously known as Game Launcher. This app, apart from showing you all the games installed on your device in one place, offers a wide collection of games that you can stream. Samsung calls it Instant Plays. Just click on a title in the catalog and start playing it. There’s no downloading of any kind involved in this experience.
Well, Samsung has now issued a new press release about Gaming Hub for mobile, and from what we could gather after skimming through marketing fluff, the company is reiterating Instant Plays in it. Maybe to get media traction and spread the word about the existing feature. That, however, isn't the only agenda of the new press release. In the post, Samsung reveals that Gaming Hub for mobile is gaining traction, and it is mainly because of the app's Instant Plays feature.
In the post, Samsung says that Instant Plays in Gaming Hub is available as a beta to people in Canada and the United States, which seems incorrect, as we can access it on our Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 in Europe and India. At first, the press release seemed about the company announcing that it is working on bringing cloud gaming services, such as Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming, to Gaming Hub for mobile, which is something that Gaming Hub offers on Samsung TVs.
Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. We hope that Samsung brings those cloud gaming services to Gaming Hub for mobile, which would be amazing, as it will allow you to access all cloud gaming services and the games they offer from one place on your Galaxy smartphone or tablet.
