Samsung has announced that Boosteroid has joined its growing lineup of Samsung Gaming Hub partners, providing access to high-end video games on compatible Samsung Smart TVs, monitors, and even the company’s Freestyle 2nd Gen projector.

According to an image of the Samsung Gaming Hub that Samsung shared, Boosteroid, which is described as the world’s largest independent cloud gaming provider, includes Starfield, Fortnite, and other popular games within its streaming catalog.

Boosteroid also appears to be the seventh game streaming service that is now supported through Samsung Gaming Hub, per a roundup from Samsung:

Boosteroid joins Samsung game streaming partners Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna, Utomik, Antstream Arcade, and Blacknut Cloud Gaming to bring the best streaming games to Samsung device owners. Through Samsung Gaming Hub and Boosteroid, users can seamlessly enjoy a vast catalog of free and paid games directly on Samsung devices.

Samsung goes on to explain how it’s brought game streaming to million of 2020 Samsung Smart TV owners globally, although the fine print notes that Boosteroid is currently only available on 2023 and 2022 model year devices compatible with Samsung Gaming Hub in select territories:

After launching the Samsung Gaming Hub on 2022 Samsung Smart TVs and monitors and bringing the service to 2023 TVs and monitors Samsung introduced backwards compatibility for partner apps with 2021 Smart TVs giving tens of millions of players access to their favorite games and services on Samsung devices – no console or PC required. Samsung Gaming Hub continues its global expansion, unlocking game streaming through partner apps for millions of players on select Samsung 2020 Smart TV models and bringing more access to high-quality games worldwide.

Players can access thousands of games on Samsung 2020 Smart TVs through individual apps from game streaming partners. Roll-out to 2020 model TVs began earlier this year to customers in the United States and Canada, with global rollout now complete for 2020 Samsung smart TVs and Monitors (version 2500.0).

“Samsung Gaming Hub continues to provide high-quality game-streaming to give players more ways to discover and play the games they love,” said Mike Lucero, Head of Gaming for Samsung Electronics America. “Game streaming is more popular than ever, and we aim to make it easier for players to access. With a Bluetooth game controller, virtually anyone can pick up and start playing games with Samsung technology. Our content library just got bigger with Boosteroid’s catalog of well-loved games.”

“We created Boosteroid to offer players effortless access to high-end gaming rigs through the cloud, allowing unlimited AAA gaming,” said Vlad Kosmin, Corporate Vice President for Boosteroid. “Samsung Gaming Hub is a dream platform for our players because it was built from the ground up for game streaming, removing barriers to entry with no downloads and no consoles or PC required. We’re eager to welcome a new community of players to our platform through Samsung.”

Other games that Boosteroid users should find through the service include Deathloop, Gears 5, and Grounded, according to an Xbox post from earlier this year that explained how PC games from Xbox would be coming to more services.
