Entertainment Gaming: Xbox App Debuts on LG Smart TVs
Entertainment gaming just took a leap with Microsoft’s Xbox app arriving on LG smart TVs. Microsoft revealed earlier this year that LG TVs would gain access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, and now, the Xbox TV app is rolling out to select LG smart TV models.
Stream Xbox Games Directly
The Xbox app will enable LG TV owners to stream Xbox games directly to their TVs, utilizing a wireless controller for gameplay. This app targets LG’s 2022 OLED TVs, select 2023 smart TVs, and newer models running webOS24 or higher. It will soon become available on LG’s portable StanbyME displays as well.
Installation and Compatibility
- Compatible with LG's 2022 OLED and 2023 models
- Requires a firmware upgrade for older models
- Bluetooth-enabled controller and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription needed
Having first launched on Samsung smart TVs in 2022, the Xbox app seeks to deliver a console-like gaming experience without the need for purchasing an Xbox Series S/X. This strategic move by Microsoft highlights that every screen can become an Xbox.
