Samsung is launching an open beta today for the Samsung Game Launcher, which lets you play mobile games on Samsung devices using Samsung’s mobile cloud gaming service.

Jong Hyuk Woo, vice president and head of gaming services at Samsung Electronics, said in an exclusive interview with GamesBeat that the launcher helps get rid of friction when it comes to digital commerce with games. The new beta service of the Samsung mobile cloud gaming platform will be available in the U.S. and Canada, and it can be included as an update for an existing game launcher already used by as many as 150 million monthly active users worldwide on Samsung Galaxy devices, Woo said.
