Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) highlighted its push to make cloud gaming more accessible to Filipino gamers during the Philippine GameDev Expo (PGDX) 2026, where it showcased its partnership with Blacknut.
Held from July 24 to 26 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, PGDX 2026 brought together game developers, publishers, creators, and gaming enthusiasts. As the event’s main presenter, Smart showcased how its mobile network, Power All offers, and Blacknut Cloud Gaming partnership can deliver more accessible gaming experiences.
Through Blacknut, Smart and TNT subscribers can access more than 1,000 premium console- and PC-quality games through their smartphones without requiring dedicated gaming hardware or lengthy game downloads.

“Gaming continues to be one of the fastest-growing passions among Filipinos, and Smart is committed to enabling richer digital experiences through reliable connectivity and meaningful partnerships like Blacknut,” said Lloyd R. Manaloto, FVP and OIC of Smart.
At the Smart booth during PGDX 2026, attendees were able to experience Blacknut Cloud Gaming firsthand by playing premium games directly on smartphones. Interactive activities and prizes, including gaming skin codes, were also offered throughout the three-day event.
Smart also highlighted its Power All offers, which provide open-access data that subscribers can use for various activities, including cloud gaming, mobile gaming, streaming, content creation, and online work or school.
The telco said its participation in PGDX is part of its broader effort to build a more complete gaming ecosystem by combining connectivity with digital entertainment services.
Smart’s mobile network was also recently recognized for Best Mobile Video Experience and Best Mobile Latency in the Philippines, further supporting its push to deliver reliable mobile gaming and entertainment experiences.
