Like streaming movies or series online, cloud gaming lets users play instantly through a mobile browser, with gameplay rendered in real time on powerful cloud servers. This allows players to enjoy console-quality games without buying a gaming console or PC, downloading an app, or installing large files.
Play Over 1,000 Console Games on Your Smartphone
Through the partnership, Smart and TNT subscribers can access the Blacknut Cloud Gaming service at blacknut.com/p/smart where they can play more than 1,000 titles spanning AAA hits, indie favorites, and family-friendly games.
The library includes popular IPs such as NBA 2K, For Honor, Asphalt, Overcooked!, and a wide range of LEGO games, among others. Titles are streamed directly via a mobile browser, allowing users to jump into gameplay within seconds.
Subscribers can sign up using their Smart or TNT mobile number and pay for a weekly subscription starting at P145, charged directly to their prepaid load. After a quick OTP verification, users can start playing instantly.
