Phynd partners with Samsung to provide free cloud gaming services

What’s happened? Phynd, a free cloud-gaming platform, has announced a collaboration with Samsung that will bring its subscription-free service to Samsung Smart TVs.

Why this is important: The launch of another cloud-based gaming service signals the continued, seemingly inevitable march of gaming towards a console-free experience, but it also makes gaming available to a wider audience.

Why should I care? Phynd has not yet announced what games might be part of the lineup, but Samsung already offers titles like Starfield, Fortnite, and Call of Duty through its Samsung Gaming Hub. If those games become available through Phynd for free, it would allow players without access to the requisite consoles or platforms to try them out.
