Samsung is once again trying to revive 3D technology, this time in a completely different format. Instead of TVs, the company is focusing on glasses-free gaming monitors, and the plan looks ambitious with 120 compatible games by the end of 2026.
3D gaming is back, but in a new form
Samsung's first monitor with glasses-free 3D and eye tracking debuted in 2025. At launch, it practically worked with just one game, but the manufacturer quickly began expanding the library. Today, there are reportedly over 60 titles, including The First Berserker, Stellar Blade, and Lies of P. The list includes new releases like Hell Is Us and Cronos: The New Dawn. Samsung aims for over 120 3D games by the end of 2026, showing that the project is not a one-off experiment, but a serious attempt to rebuild the market.
Big problem: most games are workarounds
Sounds good, but there's one serious downside. Only a few games work natively with full eye tracking support. The rest use the UEVR solution, which "converts" Unreal Engine games to 3D. The effect works, but it's still a workaround. Importantly, eye tracking is then lacking, which is crucial for a believable depth effect. This means the experience often doesn't match what is offered by, for example, VR headsets.
Samsung has made a surprisingly good start, considering the history of failure with 3D televisions. The equipment is functioning, the library is expanding, and the roadmap even includes 6K and future 3D OLED panels. For now, however, it is still a technology in transition. If the company doesn't improve quality and focus on native game support, the project may get stuck in a niche. The next 2–3 years will show whether 3D will truly make a comeback or remain a curiosity for enthusiasts.
