While the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is all about the hype now, the Samsung DeX didn't get as much attention for good reasons since it was revealed months ago with the Galaxy S8 and S8+. But there is some good news to those who have the DeX, as Super Evil Megacorp, creators of Vainglory game app, will introduce full Samsung DeX support in update 2.8, allowing the game to be played with mouse and keyboard on Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ devices.

Vainglory players should have noticed the game's presence on the stage during the Unpacked event, the update will allow the game to be played on the DeX more efficiently. The collaboration with Samsung furthers Super Evil’s mission by pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming, providing gamers with the opportunity to experience Vainglory however they want to and on the broadest range of devices as possible.

“We’re constantly exploring and pushing the boundaries of gaming technology,” said Tommy Krul, CTO of Super Evil Megacorp. “With the help of our own proprietary E.V.I.L. engine technology, we’ve been able to deliver a smooth yet visceral competitive gaming experience for Vainglory players across the globe. We built Vainglory specifically for mobile devices with unmatched speed and responsive touch controls, but now, with the help of Samsung DeX, we’re taking gameplay to the next level for players who gravitate towards traditional PC gaming, and prefer to play with a mouse and keyboard.”

Samsung and Super Evil Megacorp have been collaborating closely on development projects since early 2016, when Vainglory became one of the first games to be optimized with Samsung’s Vulkan graphics API technology. Vainglory was also named the mobile gaming partner for the Samsung Galaxy Invitational during E3 2016, hosting top Vainglory eSports teams from across the globe.

Vainglory can be downloaded for free from the App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.
