Google TV and Roku need to step up their game with video game streaming and, more broadly, a dedicated gaming station.

Samsung 's Gaming Hub is home to a plethora of game streaming platforms like Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia GeForce Now.

With a game bar and optimizer, users can easily change specific game-related settings, like toggling VRR or ALLM if the TV supports it, plus changing picture modes pertaining to specific game genres, like RPG or FPS .

Both Roku and Google TV desperately need some kind of gaming hub.

It's surprising how little both companies seem to give gaming any attention at all.

Smart home features now proving more important in the face of new products like the Roku Ultra .
