Samsung’s TV Game Center launches with Xbox, Stadia and GeForce Now streaming

Samsung today launches its Game Center for its 2022 smart TVs and monitors. The Center brings together the best game streaming apps in one place, with quick access to Nvidia’s GeForce Now, Google Stadia, Utomik, Twitch and the new Xbox app Microsoft TV. Even Amazon Luna will be available soon, well integrated into the Samsung Gaming Hub user interface.

However, Game Center doesn’t just act as a launch point for cloud gaming. HDMI-connected video game consoles will be available inside the hub, along with pass-through controller inputs, so you can use a single controller instead of having to pair several. This means popular Bluetooth headsets and controllers will work across multiple apps, services and devices through the Samsung Gaming Hub.

The biggest new addition to Game Center is Microsoft’s Xbox TV app. While Stadia, GeForce Now and Twitch are available on various TVs, the Xbox app is currently exclusive to the Samsung Gaming Hub and provides access to Xbox Cloud Gaming. Fortnite is available to stream for free, but you’ll need an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to play more than 100 games.

Along with the launch of Game Center, Nvidia is also adding some games to its GeForce Now service. Alaloth: Champions of The Four Kingdoms, Disgaea 6 Complete, Card Shark, KartKraft, Hotline Miami and NASCAR 21: Ignition are available today.
