Smart, Blacknut launch Cloud Gaming for Filipinos

Listen to article

Smart Communications has partnered with cloud gaming provider Blacknut to give Smart and TNT subscribers access to more than 1,000 games through their smartphones.

Users can open the service through a mobile browser at Blacknut’s Smart page, without downloading an app or installing large game files. The games run on cloud servers and are streamed directly to the device, similar to watching movies or series online.

The library includes titles from franchises such as NBA 2K, For Honor, Asphalt, Overcooked!, and LEGO, along with other AAA, indie, and family-friendly games.

Smart and TNT subscribers can register using their mobile number. Weekly subscriptions start at PHP 145 and can be charged directly to prepaid load. After entering a one-time password, users can begin playing through a supported browser.

Smart said the service removes the need for a dedicated gaming console or high-end PC, while also reducing storage and download requirements.

Cloud gaming depends on a stable connection and low network delay because the game is processed remotely. Smart cited Ookla data showing a median mobile latency of 45.88 milliseconds in the Philippines during the first half of 2025. It was also recognized for mobile video performance based on data from the second half of 2025.

The partnership expands Smart’s digital entertainment services by offering another way for subscribers to play games using its mobile network.
