PHȲND's free, cloud-based gaming platform to be available on millions of Samsung Smart TVs worldwide
PHȲND, a free, ad-supported cloud gaming service built for Smart TVs, today announced a global distribution collaboration with Samsung, bringing its subscription-free gaming experience to millions of Samsung Smart TVs via the Samsung Gaming Hub. The partnership marks a major milestone in PHȲND's mission to democratize access to high-quality gaming content globally while creating new revenue streams for the gaming industry. The announcement was made at GamesCom 2025 on August 19th.
Launching first in the United States, PHȲND will offer instant access to a curated library of top-tier games without the need for consoles, downloads, or subscriptions. Players of all levels will be able to enjoy games using their TV remote, smartphone, or gamepad, making gaming more accessible than ever before. Game developers and publishers will have new monetization opportunities through non-intrusive, audience-based advertising and sponsorships – a critical revenue stream across video and audio that has eluded the gaming industry across the large screen.
“PHȲND was built on the belief that amazing games should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford a console or subscription,” said Andre Swanston, CEO and Co-Founder of PHȲND. “Our partnership with Samsung allows us to bring that vision to life on one of the world's most popular Smart TV platforms. Together, we're unlocking a new era of gaming-turning every compatible Smart TV into a fully-functional gaming device, making living room play free, frictionless, and fun.”
Powered by Tizen, the Samsung Gaming Hub is an all-in-one game streaming discovery platform bridging hardware and software for a better player experience. The Samsung Gaming Hub is the new home for gaming and entertainment that gives players easy access to enhance their experience. No storage limits, no downloads, no console or PC required.
This partnership plants PHȲND at the center of two fast-growing categories: cloud gaming and Smart TV advertising. With over one billion smart TVs shipped globally in the last five years, the market potential is massive-and largely untapped. PHȲND makes playing games on smart TVs as easy as choosing a program to stream, while unlocking big-screen gaming advertising opportunities for brands and game companies.
PHȲND will be publicly available in beta in the U.S. later this year, with additional global markets to follow in 2026. As PHȲND gears up for launch, the company is opening a limited beta round to give early users a first look at the platform's console-free, subscription-free gaming experience. Interested consumers can join the waitlist atwww.phynd.games or directly from their Samsung TVs later this year for a chance to be among the first to play.
