One of the oddest things to see at CES 2015 was PlayStation Now running on Samsung televisions. For those unfamiliar, PlayStation Now is the gaming streaming app from Sony where you can play PS3 games without needing a console by either renting or subscribing to the service. Already available on PS3, PS4, and PS Vita, PlayStation Now continues to grow on the variety of platforms it’s offered on. Just at CES, Sony announced their new lineup of Blu-ray players which support PlayStation Now. Think about it, a Blu-ray player that not only plays your physical media like DVD/Blu-ray, but one that can stream from many services including Netflix, Hulu, and now game via PlayStation Now.

While bringing the service to the 2015 line of Sony 4K and HD televisions seems like a no brainer and one that Sony has done, coming to Samsung televisions is an entirely different thing.

Though neither company have expanded much on details, it’s been revealed that all of Samsung’s 2015 ‘smart televisions’ will include PlayStation Now. No exact date has been given for when the service will go live but seeing how it was fully up and running on Samsung TVs at CES, it’s likely that the service will ready whenever the new fleet of Samsung televisions are launched. All you’ll need to bring to the party is a Dualshock 4 controller. Everything else, including game saves and trophies, will be synced via the cloud. If you’ve got that, just make sure you have decent internet speeds (Sony recommends at least 5 Mbps down) and you’ll be ready to game on a Samsung television without a console.

Would you see yourself using PlayStation Now on just a television?
