London, UK. 19th May, 2021: Leading global classic game streaming service Antstream Arcade today announced a landmark partnership with Samsung UK, which sees Antstream included in the Samsung Boost value added service proposition - available to customers of the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Series. 

From health and fitness, to entertainment, music and creative platforms, Anstream joins a list of premium experiences within Samsung Boost, which can be found on samsung.com/uk/boost.

As part of this exclusive collaboration, users will be able to access Antstream Arcade’s premium ad-free service for three months free of charge. Following this, Samsung Galaxy S21 5G customers can choose to either subscribe to the service, or continue to play any of Antstream’s 1000+ classic games via its ad-funded freemium service.

By streaming games, customers can play any title they want instantly, with no downloads and emulators required. They can also switch between popular classics, such as Mortal Kombat, Disney’s Super Star Wars titles, Space Invaders and Asteroids, whenever they want, straight from their smartphone wherever there is a WiFi, 4G or 5G connection. Furthermore, Antstream Arcade provides players with access to exciting gaming tournaments and challenges, in addition to its global leaderboards and other social features.

Antstream’s Director of Business Development, Sam Butler, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be supporting Samsung’s Boost proposition for the launch of its new flagship device in Antstream’s home market. Antstream is one of the only truly device agnostic game streaming services in the world. The power and quality of the new Samsung Galaxy S21 5G models offer a perfect environment in which to enjoy some of the most iconic games of all time, on a device you can carry in your pocket. It’s a really exciting time for gamers and the gaming industry”

“At Samsung, our customers are at the heart of everything we do and we challenge ourselves to deliver to them the best services and technologies that enable the very best experience with us. It is from listening to our customers that Samsung Boost was born,” said Teg Dosanjh, Director of Connected Services and Technology, Samsung UK and Ireland. “We’re excited to give our customers the opportunity to try new experiences through our Boost proposition, and are thrilled to have Antstream on board, who enable our customers to get their game on!”
