Samsung is making a serious play for the future of immersive gaming. At GDC 2026 in San Francisco, the company unveiled plans to expand its glasses-free 3D gaming ecosystem with two major titles - Hell Is Us and Cronos: The New Dawn - joining a library that already supports over 60 games on the Odyssey 3D monitor. The move signals Samsung's bet that 3D gaming can finally go mainstream without the clunky glasses that doomed previous attempts.
Samsung is betting big that glasses-free 3D gaming is finally ready for prime time. At GDC 2026 in San Francisco, the company announced it's bringing Hell Is Us and Cronos: The New Dawn to its Odyssey 3D gaming monitor, expanding an ecosystem that's rapidly gaining steam with developers.
The timing is strategic. Hell Is Us, the critically acclaimed action-adventure horror title from Rogue Factor, arrives this month as part of what Samsung is calling the "first wave" of 2026 3D-enabled games. Cronos: The New Dawn from Bloober Team follows by year's end. Both will be playable through the Samsung Odyssey 3D Hub, according to Samsung's announcement.
"The Odyssey 3D is designed for gamers who want to experience their hobby in a way that feels like they're completely embedded in the action," Kevin Lee, Executive Vice President of Samsung's Visual Display Business, told press. "Through partnerships with leading gaming studios, we're committed to creating an ecosystem of top-tier titles, making great games extraordinary."
The content pipeline is what matters here. Samsung's 3D gaming library has grown to over 60 titles - including The First Berserker: Khazan, Stellar Blade, and Lies of P: Overture. The company is targeting 120+ games by the end of 2026, a pace that suggests developers are actually embracing the platform.
But Samsung isn't just pushing 3D. The company also announced expanded partnerships around HDR10+ GAMING, its tech that automatically optimizes HDR performance by analyzing each scene and frame. CD PROJEKT RED is working with Samsung to integrate HDR10+ GAMING into Cyberpunk 2077, while Pearl Abyss is bringing the feature to Crimson Desert, set to launch this month.
