Filipino gamers can now stream more than 1,000 console-quality games on their smartphones as Smart Communications teams up with B2C and B2B cloud gaming platform Blacknut.
Blacknut Cloud Gaming service is accessible via mobile at blacknut.com/p/smart and offers a library of AAA titles, indie favorites, and family-friendly games, including NBA 2K, For Honor, Asphalt, Overcooked!, and a wide selection of LEGO games, among others. Since gameplay is rendered on remote cloud servers, players can jump into games within seconds without installing apps or consuming device storage.
Subscribers can sign up using their Smart or TNT mobile number and subscribe for as low as P145 per week, with the fee charged directly to prepaid load. After a one-time password (OTP) verification, users can begin playing immediately.
“Cloud gaming removes the biggest barriers to enjoy console-level gaming at your fingertips—expensive hardware, long downloads, and limited storage. With Blacknut, we’re making high-quality gaming instantly accessible to our millions of subscribers, powered by our award-winning network,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, FVP and Co-OIC at Smart.
The partnership also highlights Smart’s focus on network performance for cloud gaming, where low latency is essential for responsive gameplay. According to Ookla’s Speedtest Connectivity Report for Q1–Q2 2025, Smart recorded the country’s best mobile latency performance with a median latency of 45.88 milliseconds.
Ookla also recognized Smart for delivering the Philippines’ best mobile video experience in Q3–Q4 2025, supporting smoother game streaming and other high-bandwidth services.
