Samsung Electronics announced today that the Samsung Gaming Hub will soon be available on all Samsung Smart TVs made after 2022. It will offer the best game streaming content and gaming experiences without the need for extra hardware or downloads. The Samsung Gaming Hub is an all-in-one game streaming discovery platform.
The Samsung Gaming Hub brings together Samsung’s expertise in both hardware and software to make it easier, faster, and better to access everything gaming on Samsung TVs, like the 2022 Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, QLEDs, and 2022 Smart Monitor Series.
Gaming Comes Together
Samsung Gaming Hub, powered by Tizen, allows users to access games from Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Google Stadia, Utomik, and eventually Amazon Luna, all on one platform. Players can integrate their existing Bluetooth headsets and controllers with the Samsung Gaming Hub, making it easier to play games. Users will also see tailored suggestions based on popular games.
The Samsung Gaming Hub merges music as well as streaming services to provide more entertainment options while playing games, including quick access to Twitch, YouTube, and Spotify. The sleek and handy Gaming Hub gives players access to the latest gaming news, tutorials, music, and podcasts, including game trailers.
Processor and Picture Quality
Samsung’s 2022 Smart TV and 2022 Smart Monitor Series are great for gaming because they have powerful motion innovations and technology that cuts down on latency. Samsung’s newest lines have faster decoding and better buffer control, which cuts input lag by more than 30% compared to older models. In addition, the most recent iteration of Samsung’s AI upscaling technology enhances gaming graphics in order to deliver astounding 4K and 8K resolutions with a high degree of colour accuracy and sharpness.
