Bringing Discovery Back to Mobile Games

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

Samsung pitches a concrete fix: surface mobile games in the preinstalled gaming Hub (160 million monthly actives, average three visits per day) and deliver instant playable titles via an Android native cloud streaming platform that preloads APKs on warm virtual machines. It targets the leaky ad funnel (typical ad-to-play conversion ~5–10%) and claims near-instant play from ads, background-install shortcut APKs that enable push notifications, support for IAP and ad monetization, and a US/Canada beta now running.
