Xbox Cloud Gaming Launches on LG TVs

Some LG TVs are now joining the gaming revolution, as they just began supporting the Xbox app for seamless game streaming through Xbox Cloud Gaming on your television. This wasn’t a surprise, though, as Microsoft had hinted at delivering such a feature earlier this year. The great news dropped on Wednesday via Xbox Wire, announcing that the update is up and running.

According to the latest press release, the Xbox app is now accessible on “2022 OLED TVs, select models from LG’s 2023 Smart TV lineup, and any newer models,” as well as on smart monitors that sport webOS24. This is a massive step forward for anyone keen to enjoy gaming without needing a console.

Keen to jump in and start gaming on your LG TV? Here’s what you need to do: navigate to the LG Gaming Portal, download the Xbox app, and log into your Microsoft account. It’s that straightforward! Remember that you’ll need Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership and a Bluetooth-capable controller to stream your favorite games. Whether using an Xbox Series X|S controller or a PlayStation 5 DualSense, you’re good to go.

Xbox Cloud Gaming has already established a strong presence on several devices. Besides Xbox consoles, you’ll find support on specific Amazon Fire TV sticks, Meta Quest 3 headsets, Windows PCs, and even Android or iOS tablets via Xbox.com/play, widening the scope for gamers everywhere.

The Xbox library continues to grow at an impressive pace. The Xbox team hasn’t held back in its support of Cloud Gaming. An exciting new feature, “Stream Your Own Game,” kicked off with the Xbox app and has now extended to Xbox consoles, making gaming even more versatile.

Initially rolled out with just 50 games, this feature has rapidly expanded, with popular titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Subnautica, and The Thing Remastered joining the line-up regularly. Plus, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can dive into these first-party games effortlessly without purchasing them separately.

Among the top downloadable titles you can now stream are Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed, Compulsion Games’ South of Midnight, and Bethesda Game Studios’ The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. But there’s more! Look out for upcoming gems like id Software’s DOOM: The Dark Ages, just waiting to hit your screens. The future of gaming certainly looks bright with all these offerings.
