With dedicated gaming zones, Samsung is trying to create an even more immersive experience.
The Game Zone includes three dedicated gaming areas, each with its own perk and a range of Samsung gaming displays. First up is the Cloud Gaming Zone which features a 55-inch Neo QLED Smart TV for game streaming via Samsung Gaming Hub. Visitors can play Xbox games instantly on the cloud, without worrying about downloads and storage limitations.
The second is the living room zone, which has received three 98-inch Neo QLED 4K HDR Smart TVs in London and an 85-inch Neo QLED 8K TV in New York. The final tournament zone has three 98-inch Neo QLED 4K HDR Smart TVs in London and an 85-inch Neo QLED 8K TV at the store entrance in New York.
Samsung Gaming Hub is available in Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Spain, US and UK and supports cloud gaming experiences from Amazon Luna, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and Utomik in addition to Xbox.
