Samsung Electronics continues to make significant investments in gaming to remove barriers, provide even more ways to play games<\/a> and empower people to \u201cJust Play<\/a>\u201d on their favorite Samsung devices, creating more value for owners and choices for players to decide how and what they play.<\/p>\n

For the third year in a row, we are proud to be the official TV partner of Summer Game Fest<\/a> and will be onsite with media and creators for Play Days following the Summer Game Fest live stream, which will air on Friday, June 7 at 2 p.m. Pacific Time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSamsung has introduced game streaming<\/a> to hundreds of millions of Samsung Smart TV, Monitor<\/a> and Freestyle 2nd Gen Projector<\/a> owners around the world,\u201d said Mike Lucero, Head of Product Management for Gaming at Samsung. \u201cWe\u2019ve continued to invest in hardware innovations and introduced gaming services and initiatives like Samsung Gaming Hub<\/a> to address pain points from players. We are continuing to expand our gaming offerings, listening to players and building better user experiences and gaming products.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of our continued gaming expansion, we\u2019ve introduced our newest initiative to give Samsung Smart TV owners the power to become TV players with the launch of two new games: Rivals Arena<\/em><\/a> and The Six<\/em>. Through this initiative, we have a unique opportunity to reach more potential players with new ways to play these games on select Samsung Smart TVs<\/a> without a console, controller or subscription. People can now play simply with a TV remote or any smartphone.<\/p>\n

Rivals Arena <\/em>is a cinematic card game from Return Entertainment exclusive to Samsung TVs using any smartphone as a controller. Players can jump right in by grabbing their phone and scanning a QR code. It\u2019s available to play now on 2022 or newer Samsung TVs.<\/p>\n

Launched this week, The Six<\/em> is a trivia game built directly into Samsung TVs. Anyone with a remote and a 2022 or newer Samsung TV can play today, and it will be coming to earlier models later this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More people are playing games than ever before, and we believe that anyone should be able to pick-up-and-play on their TVs without needing a console, controller, log-in or monthly fee.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

While we recognize there is still much more work to be done, we believe this new initiative will help us to better understand the behaviors, choices and habits of potential players who might not consider themselves to be traditional gamers by providing new and easy ways to play games. Our goal is to ultimately serve more segments of gamers on Samsung Smart TVs, whether they play AAA titles or mainstream games that are easy to pick and play with a TV remote or virtual mobile controller.<\/p>\n

Both Rivals Arena<\/em> and The Six<\/em> will be available to play onsite at the Samsung Gaming booth during Summer Game Fest\u2019s Play Days.<\/p>\n
