Prior to the full release of xCloud on Android next month, Samsung has announced an attractive promotion for the upcoming Note 20 smartphone and Galaxy Tab S7 tablet. Pre-orders for any of the devices are accompanied by Samsung credits up to $150 until stock runs out. You can then apply these credits to a new Xbox Game Ultimate Pass package, which opens the door to streaming Xbox games on new Samsung devices starting September 15.
The agreement was last announced Samsung’s Unpacked and was reported through our sister site CNET. The Note 20 is now available for pre-order at Best Buy and Samsung. The Galaxy Tab S7 will be released later this year. Note 20 preorders come with $100 Samsung credits, while Note 20 Ultra pre-orders come with $150.
