LG is bringing Xbox Cloud Gaming to your smart TVs in a first beta. This week, the Xbox app is being introduced on TVs, which can be accessed via the LG Game Portal and apps. You can choose to play small indie games or the latest AAA games directly on TV.
Thanks to integrated cloud gaming, a game console is no longer required to play on LG TVs with a fast internet connection. In addition to LG TVs and selected smart monitors with WebOS 24, the Xbox app, 2022 and 2023 OLED, QNED, Nanocell, and UHD TVs, which have been updated to software version 23.20.01, will soon also be available for LG Stanbym models, according to the company. LG has not provided any specific dates for this. Also, if or what restrictions, the current beta still doesn’t mention LG.
Xbox subscription is a prerequisite for cloud gaming
The prerequisite for streaming games via Microsoft‘s cloud service is an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a compatible controller to control the game.
With Game Pass Ultimate, subscribers can use a vast game library that also includes AAA titles from developer studios Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, and Xbox Game Studios. Among other things, games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are available, and Avowed, South of Midnight, and Towerborne are imminent. Ultimate subscription users can also stream selected games from their own library via the cloud, including current titles like Hogwarts Legacy.
Xbox Cloud Gaming is currently available in over 25 countries, including Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia, Spain, the Czech Republic, and the United States. LG Gaming Portal is already available on LG displays with WebOS23 and NEUER and is expected to expand to other markets and LG displays with WebOS 6.0 in the second quarter.
