Samsung announced that it will enter the cloud gaming field through its Tizen smart TV. In the keynote speech at the Samsung Developer Conference, Samsung announced its return to cloud gaming. As early as the early 2010s, Samsung worked with a game streaming company called Gaikai to introduce early versions of cloud games to its high-end TVs.
The publicity back then was basically the same as it is now- only a TV, internet connection and controller are needed to play the game. The system even launched a beta version, but then Gaikai was acquired by Sony, Samsung Cloud Games was abandoned, and the technology was eventually incorporated into the PlayStation Now service.

Samsung did not disclose more information today, including about which games are available, which other platforms are available, or when they will be released. In 2021, Samsung will face fiercer competition than before-Google Stadia service, Amazon Luna, Microsoft Xbox cloud gaming, Nvidia Geforce Now.
Samsung said in a question and answer on its official website that the goal of its cloud gaming service is to allow users to play the latest games on Samsung smart TVs equipped with the Tizen platform.
