Samsung extends ‘Made for Samsung’ program to game developers

Global tech giant Samsung is announcing today that its Made for Samsung program for promoting mobile apps will be extended to independent game developers. That means that game developers will get considerable marketing and tech support from Samsung if they bring exclusive titles to the South Korean company’s mobile platforms.

Mihai Pohontu, vice president at emerging platforms at Samsung, made the announcement at the GamesBeat Summit 2016 event today. He said that Samsung had been providing developer services for the past year to app partners such as The Weather Channel, CNN, and others. Now it will extend those same services in the hope of getting exclusive titles from indie mobile game developers too.
