LG introduced theXbox app dedicated to its smart TVs with an operating system Webos 23 and later versionswhich allows you to access the Catalog of the Game Pass Ultimate and play streaming, without physical console.
The app is available in Gaming Portal of LG and allows you to perform hundreds of Xbox titles directly on the TV, including signed games Activision, Bethesda, Xbox game studios and other publishers.
To work, however, it is necessary to have:
- a compatible external controller;
- a Stable internet connection;
- and an active subscription to Game Pass Ultimate.
This system also allows you to access the cloud to previously purchased games, such as NBA 2K25 or Hogwarts Legacy.
The app is compatible with various LG devices, including i TV OLED 2022-2023models Qned, Nancell And Uhdas long as you update at least to the software version 23.20.01.
There is also a version for some LG monitor And for the LG Stanbyme portable screen, which will arrive later. Thanks to this integration, those who already have one of these products can access the Cloud Gaming without having to buy a separate console.
Although this novelty expands the game possibilities on LG TV, does not completely replace the experience offered by a dedicated console. The performance, in fact, depend largely on the connection quality Network and not all the titles on Game Pass have the same cloud behavior.
However, the initiative is part of a wider trend: more and more companies are trying to integrate the cloud gaming into domestic deviceswith the aim of reducing the necessary hardware (and therefore less cables and less dimensions).
For those who want to approach the Xbox world without buying a console, it could represent one interesting solutionbut it remains to be verified if the experience will be really satisfactory in the long run.
