Technology giant companies have announced one game streaming service in the past months. Even after Google announced Stadia, Nvidia’s GeForce Now, it offered a game streaming service called PlayGalaxy Link on Samsung. PlayGalaxy Link enabled computer games to run on Galaxy phones, just like Steam Link and Google Stadia. Unlike other platforms, Samsung’s PlayGalaxy Link was only working on Galaxy phones. Samsung launched the beta version of PlayGalaxy Link 4 months ago. After 4 months of beta release, Samsung announced that it will end the service of PlayGalaxy Link on March 27 by publishing a statement. Samsung’s announcement has been so quiet that it has caught the attention of people yesterday, even though the announcement was made on February 26. In a statement from Samsung regarding the termination of PlayGalaxy Link, it was announced that PlayGalaxy Link will be terminated on March 27, 2020 due to changes in the company’s internal policies after a hard discussion. Termination of PlayGalaxy Link’s service may be related to an agreement with Microsoft. Samsung recently announced a new partnership with Microsoft aimed at delivering a “premium cloud-based gaming streaming experience.” Thanks to the partnership between the two companies, Samsung will contribute to Microsoft’s xCloud game service. However, it is not yet clear how Samsung will provide xCloud.
