Samsung’s PlayGalaxy Link service, which allowed you to stream games from your PC to select Galaxy smartphones, is shutting down on March 27th, the company has announced.
Samsung didn’t elaborate much on the reasons for the closure, simply saying that “internal policy changes” are behind the decision. However, Gamasutra notes that the announcement came just weeks after Samsung announced a major partnership with Microsoft as part of its Galaxy S20 launch event. The partnership is likely to see Microsoft’s xCloud game streaming service appearing on Samsung’s devices in the future, and it could be that Samsung wasn’t willing to continue investing money into its semi-competing service.
Samsung’s PC-to-phone game streaming service will shut down later this month
