Explore Odyssey Universe and discover industry-leading features

The first thing that players find in Odyssey Universe is a huge lobby, from there you can access five different worlds, each with an available mission. These worlds—Ark, G9, G8, G7, and G6 levels—are inspired by the Odyssey gaming line and named after the monitor models.

Let’s take a look at Level Ark, which offers a quest to escape from a maze by answering questions based on Odyssey. In order to unlock different paths, players will have to use all the knowledge they have about Odyssey monitors.

The Level G9 is inspired by the Odyssey Neo G9, an extremely large display that looks and feels like two monitors rolled into one. In Level G9, gamers have to get a golf ball into the hole, something that may seem easier than it is. An ultrawide 49-inch monitor like the Neo G9 will help them get the job done without too much fuss.

The Level G8 features a race track with many curves, representing the curvature of the Odyssey Neo G8 (1000R) and Odyssey OLED G8 (1800R). Racing along the track opens up new views of a vast 360° universe for an overwhelmingly immersive experience. Level G8 will be quite a challenge, as it has two objectives: a race against time and counting the number of monitors that appear next to the track as players run past.

To highlight an essential refresh rate for gaming monitors, the Level G7 was designed like a shooting range. Gamers have to hit all their goals in a limited time, which is made easier with up to 240Hz refresh rate available on high-end Odyssey monitors.

Finally, in the G6 level, players have to collect tiles in a huge shopping mall in a limited time. Gamers will see Odyssey gaming monitors in stores and come across all Samsung Odyssey monitors while pursuing their goals.

For gamers whose hearts race at the thought of an exciting experience created in Fortnite, Samsung Electronics has prepared a “scavenger hunt” event for everyone to immerse themselves in. By following SypherPK and NickEH30 on social media for clues, players will be able to explore the Odyssey Universe map to find answers hidden in each of the worlds.
