Smart Communications and Blacknut Cloud Gaming have partnered to bring console-quality cloud gaming to more Filipino players, allowing Smart and TNT subscribers to stream over 1,000 premium games on their smartphones without a console or dedicated gaming hardware. TechPinas reported the announcement.
Access starts at PHP 145 per week, and subscribers can register using their Smart or TNT mobile number, pay through prepaid load, complete a quick OTP verification, and begin playing within seconds. Unlike traditional gaming, cloud gaming runs games on remote servers and streams them to the device in real time, removing the need for large downloads, lengthy installations, or storage concerns.
The partnership leverages Smart's mobile network and low-latency connectivity to support smoother cloud gaming experiences across the Philippines. With the growing popularity of mobile gaming locally, the service aims to lower the barrier to premium titles by letting players tap into console-level gaming using only a smartphone and an internet connection.
