After some travels, I’m back at home and absorbing some of the things I’ve seen. And one of the things that I found to be truly impressive was the Samsung Gaming Hub, which will debut on Samsung TVs on June 30 with cloud gaming services such as Microsoft’s xCloud (now Xbox Cloud Gaming).

I think this is going to be a pretty amazing service for gamers. It lets you play cloud-based games on the TV — without the need for a game console. The Samsung Gaming Hub is going to be embedded in Samsung’s 2022 TVs this fall, and it will feature cloud gaming services such as xCloud, GeForce Gaming, Google Stadia and Utomik. You will be able to play Xbox Game Pass games on the TV without a console.
