Samsung is launching a new cloud gaming service on its Galaxy smartphones and tablets, with the service possibly reaching "1 billion" Galaxy devices as early as this week.

The cloud gaming service aims to remove game download times, enabling immediate streaming of mobile games without the need for downloading them from the Play Store or Galaxy Store.

Samsung plans to undercut the typical 30% service fees charged by other platforms to attract developers to its cloud gaming service.

The cloud gaming service has been integrated into the Samsung Game Launcher and has received positive feedback during ongoing testing.

This move follows Samsung's earlier ventures into cloud gaming, including the 2022 launch of Gaming Hub on its TVs, which integrated various cloud gaming services.

I hear a lot of positive things about cloud gaming from both astroturfers and unabashed shills, does that count?

unabashed shills

Damn I'm a shill now :( sorry I enjoyed be able to game when I didn't have good hardware.

Cloud gaming is not for everyone but just cause some people found use in it doesn't make them a shill. Everyone I know from cloud gaming circles only used it till getting a decent PC or console

Possibly a dumb question but what is an astroturfer?

FYI, I literally just typed your exact question into Google and that was the first response.
