Smart launches Philippines' first cloud gaming platform with Blacknut

Smart Communications has launched the Philippines’ first cloud gaming platform through a partnership with Blacknut. Unveiled at the Philippine GameDev Expo (PGDX) 2026, the collaboration allows Smart and TNT subscribers to access over 1,000 premium console and PC-quality games directly on their smartphones.

The service eliminates the need for expensive gaming hardware or lengthy downloads. Weekly subscriptions for the platform start at PHP 145 and can be paid using prepaid load via a simple OTP verification process. During the expo, Smart provided interactive demos and showcased its Power All data offers designed to support gaming and streaming.
