LONDON, UK – December 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Has unveiled a first-of-its-kind gaming event, live-streamed to London’s iconic Piccadilly screen.

Partnering with Cheil, Samsung’s Gaming Hub Challenge feat. Rocket League took digital out of home (DOOH) to a new level, using Ocean Outdoor’s DeepScreen® Alive technology for the first time to accommodate live reactions from spectators directly into the livestream experience.
