Nvidia announced on Tuesday the development of its own cloud-based gaming ecosystem through a partnership with the US operator AT&T and Samsung. These new partnerships, announced at CES, will extend the reach and performance of GeForce NOW, Nvidia’s cloud-gaming streaming service.
Nvidia’s collaboration with AT&T will focus on developing 5G technical innovations to enhance the gaming experience. Engineering teams from both companies are working together to optimize things like latency and minimize packet loss on the web. network. They do not reveal specific developments at the moment, but plan to work together throughout the year.
While subscribers of the US operator will be able to get a six-month priority subscription to GeForce NOW on their 5G devices, they won’t be the only ones. On Tuesday, Nvidia announced with great fanfare the launch of GeForce NOW on Samsung televisions during the year, with an availability date set for the second quarter. The game service will be available through the Samsung Gaming Hub, a new game-streaming discovery platform.
Last month, Nvidia teamed up with LG to launch a beta version of the GeForce NOW app for LG 2021 WebOS smart TVs. Nvidia plans to add support for other TVs, including 2022 models, later this year.
