Samsung Removes Mini-Game from Gaming Hub

13 Jan 2026

Samsung has removed the egg-hatching 'Creature Collection' mini-game from its Gaming Hub app with the release of update 8.0.00.19 at the end of December.

Update Features and Changes

The update introduced new tools allowing users to compare playtime on most-played titles and track time spent. It also removed the Gaming timeline, which was used for tracking achievement progress.

Monsters and Profile Avatars

All previously unlockable monsters are now available as default profile display pictures in the app. Users no longer need to complete missions to access these avatars.

Samsung advises users to update the Gaming Hub via the Galaxy Store to ensure all changes are applied effectively.
