Apple's Siri AI will be powered by Gemini Samsung's refreshed Mobile Gaming Hub is trying to make it easier to discover new games The company's VP of Games Services explains why it needed to change. During CES 2026, Samsung unveiled plenty of new TVs, monitors and other hardware. However, the company is also looking to expand further into video games and has announced a significant refresh to its Gaming Hub on smartphones. Engadget spoke with Samsung's Jong Woo, VP of Game Services, who explained that the update will offer more personalized, faster ways to play and place greater emphasis on up-and-coming titles. Now available on Galaxy devices, with further updates planned, the new hub wants to be a more active space for the latest mobile games.

Samsung just provided availability details for a full range of new TVs as part of its Unbox & Discover event. These include Neo QLED 8K models, Neo QLED 4K models and various OLED boxes. Many of these TVs were originally teased at CES, but now preorders are actually open for consumers looking for a new way to watch that upcoming Star Wars show. Samsung calls the NEO QLED QN900D the "slimmest, most premium 8K TV to ever hit the market." It's got everything you can think of, including AI to upscale content to 8K.

Samsung is revealing a new lineup of smart TVs at CES 2022 today, including features as exotic as radio-wave powered remote controls and support for NFTs -- and they also happen to be the first Samsung sets in a while to let you play triple-A video games from the cloud instead of just your Xbox, PlayStation or PC. After an vague tease in October, Samsung is now confirming that "select" 2022 models will explicitly offer access to Nvidia's GeForce Now, Google Stadia, and the Utomik cloud gaming service as part of a new "Samsung Gaming Hub," a user interface which Samsung's intending to expand to additional services as well. Intriguingly, the company says that your HDMI-connected video game consoles will be part of it as well -- complete with passthrough controller inputs. That means you might be able to play cloud games and console games with the same controller, instead of having to maintain separate controllers or pair back and forth, with both PlayStation and Xbox controllers supported at launch. It's also promising "AI Gaming technology" that will create curated game recommendations on your TV's home screen, which... okay, sure.
