Samsung Gaming Hub announces partnerships with Volley, PHȲND, and GameLoop
Samsung’s Gaming Hub is a one-stop hub that stores all of your games. If you have an eligible Samsung TV or Monitor, you can browse and play games directly from your favorite cloud streaming service provider. With these new partners, the company aims to bring social TV-based gaming to the platform. This will give users more ways to play together on Smart TVs, including voice-controlled trivia and puzzle games.
“We’ve always seen the TV as the heart of the living room, where friends and family come together,” said Isaac Sundsted, Director of Gaming Partnerships at Samsung. “There’s a growing appetite for easy, pick-up-and-play games that can be enjoyed with others, whether that means sharing a laugh, showing off your skills, or enjoying a little friendly competition.”
Volley, the leading creator of voice AI games, offers the popular American game shows Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. The former lets you answer general knowledge questions while the latter allows you to solve word puzzles by spinning a wheel. Furthermore, you will get access to several original hits such as Song Quiz and Karaoke.
