Samsung is about to pick up in its gaming audience, as it has announced a deal that will bring a number of AAA titles to owners of its Galaxy Note 4 tablet.
OnLive, one of the leaders in cloud gaming services, has teamed up with the manufacturer for a new program that will provide Galaxy Note 4 owners with three free months of the company’s unlimited gaming service, according to Market Wired.
Using an Android-compatible OnLive app, users will be able to stream their gaming experiences right to their device, provided they have a Wi-Fi or 4G connection strong enough to carry the signal. There are hundreds of titles to choose from in the company’s PlayPack game service bundle, including premiere titles like Darksiders II, along with a bevy of classic and independent games.
“OnLive lets gamers play the games they love, anytime and anywhere, through the power of the cloud. The addition of the OnLive app to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 makes high-end games available that normally can’t be played on an Android tablet. We’re excited to give Samsung customers a taste of cloud gaming with the gift of 3 free months of unlimited gaming,” said Mark Jung, Executive Chairman of OnLive.
The OnLive partnership is part of the Galaxy Gifts Package, which will provide a variety of content, as well as exclusive rewards, to those that own a Galaxy Note 4. Valued at $28.95, the subscription will certainly provide a value to said customers – as well as possibly entice them to renew it past the trial period.
In addition to access to the PlayPack games, the OnLive service will also feature access to CloudLift, which enables the streaming of any PC titles that the user may already own. This will be available for a 7-day period, although additional access can be purchased through the app.
This should no doubt help Samsung get a push in the mobile gaming market.
