Samsung has stepped into the gaming accessory market with its “Designed for Samsung Gaming Hub” program, forming partnerships with gaming accessory manufacturers. This initiative ensures the creation of products specifically tailored for Samsung devices, prioritizing compatibility, quality, performance, safety, and assurance.
The “Replay Midnight Blue” game controller, born from Samsung’s collaboration with Performance Designed Products (PDP), takes center stage in this venture. Resembling the Xbox controller, it aims to elevate the gaming experience for Samsung users. Featured under the “Designed for Gaming Center” brand, it guarantees compatibility with Samsung devices.
Samsung’s Gaming Hub, a cloud-based gaming platform, enables users to directly play a variety of games on their Samsung TVs, eliminating the need for a PC or game console. The platform supports diverse game streaming options, including Xbox Game Pass, Amazon Luna, Boosteroid, Blacknut, Utomik, GeForce Now, and Antstream Arcade. Additionally, it facilitates streaming from popular content services like YouTube, Spotify, and Twitch.
The “Replay Midnight Blue” controller boasts a remarkable 40-hour battery life for extended gaming sessions. With low-latency Bluetooth connectivity, it ensures smooth gameplay within a 30-feet range. Equipped with a home button for quick access to Samsung Gaming Hub, along with dedicated volume and power buttons for the TV, the controller is competitively priced at $49.99, available for pre-order on platforms like the PDP website, Amazon, and BestBuy.
