Samsung Glasses-free 3D gaming is getting 120 reasons to exist

Samsung commits to over 120 titles for its Odyssey 3D monitor by year's end, with Hell Is Us arriving in March and Cronos later in 2026.

Samsung is trying to convince you that 3D gaming isn’t just a gimmick you leave in the past. The company announced this week that it’s expanding the library for its glasses-free Odyssey 3D gaming monitor, and the numbers are finally starting to look respectable.

The monitor already supports more than 60 titles through the Odyssey 3D Hub. But Samsung says it’s on track to hit over 120 games by the end of 2026. Two newly confirmed additions include the action-adventure horror game Hell Is Us, which arrives this month, and the survival horror title Cronos: The New Dawn from Bloober Team, due later this year. Both will be playable at GDC 2026 in San Francisco, where Samsung is hosting hands-on demo sessions.

The games you can play without glasses keep growing

Samsung’s 3D gaming library already includes The First Berserker: Khazan, Stellar Blade, Lies of P: Overture and MONGIL: STAR DIVE. These aren’t small indie experiments from unknown studios either. The company is also working with major developers like CD PROJEKT RED to integrate its display technologies into games like Cyberpunk 2077, though that partnership currently focuses on HDR10+ GAMING rather than 3D support specifically.

All these games run through the Odyssey 3D Hub, Samsung’s dedicated platform for 3D content. The monitor does the heavy lifting with built-in eye tracking and view mapping that adjusts the depth in real time based on where you’re sitting.

Why this 3D monitor might actually work

The Odyssey 3D doesn’t ask you to wear glasses or sit perfectly still. It relies on advanced eye tracking to adjust the illusion in real time based on your position. That means you can move around, lean back or shift in your chair without breaking the effect.

Samsung claims the technology also tackles the motion sickness problem that plagued older 3D displays. The monitor runs at a 165Hz refresh rate with a 1ms response time, so the depth holds up even during fast camera movement, gunfights and high-speed traversal. The company says this approach avoids the eye strain traditionally associated with 3D screens.

You get two size options right now. The 27-inch model is available, and Samsung plans to launch a 32-inch version by the end of the year. Both deliver glasses-free 3D without sacrificing performance.

What to watch for in the 3D gaming push

You’ll get a firsthand look at the progress at GDC 2026 this month. Samsung is hosting hands-on demo sessions where journalists and industry insiders can play Hell Is Us in 3D before the public release. Those early impressions will tell us whether the eye tracking lives up to the promise.

Samsung’s bet is that a big enough game library will finally make glasses-free 3D mainstream. If you’re considering the Odyssey 3D, the next few months matter. March brings Hell Is Us, and the rest of 2026 will determine whether the company actually hits that 120-game target. For now, the library is growing faster than anyone expected from a 3D display.

I didn't expect Samsung to be the one crossing the finish line first here, given how much noise Dolby Vision 2 made when it was announced (September 2025). 

The company has confirmed its next HDR format, and it’s arriving on a popular OTT platform this month, beating Dolby Vision 2 to the punch.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with many video editors and content creator friends of mine, often pointing out things like how the text isn’t visible around the two-minute mark or how the transition in the opening sequence feels a little off. 

However, most of the time, they would end up scrubbing through the whole clip trying to find what I meant, or they'd ask me to send a screenshot of the exact moment I was referring to. Considering I wasn’t charging anything to spot those issues, that extra effort always stung a little. Thankfully, Google’s latest Workspace update finally fixes that.
