OnLive Partners with Samsung to Bring AAA Games to New Galaxy devices

Cloud gaming company OnLive revealed today that they are working with Samsung to offer three free months of the company's PlayPack subscription service to anyone who buys the Galaxy Note 4.

OnLive claim that users will be able to "stream PC and console-quality games from OnLive’s high-end gaming optimized servers to their Galaxy Note 4 for play anywhere if they have a Wi-Fi or 4G connection"

In addition to the free three-month subscription, also on offer is a seven-day free trial of their CloudLift system. This enables access to a user's downloaded games via the cloud, allowing them to be streamed to other devices while out on the go.

It's been a busy time of recent for OnLive, last month the company announced deals with both Phillips and Green Man Gaming. While in June, Mad Catz announced they would be including OnLive on it's new M.O.J.O micro-console for Android.
