Microsoft Continues to Expand Xbox Cloud Gaming to LG TVs
Microsoft’s ongoing effort to provide Xbox gaming experiences without the need for users to invest in Xbox hardware is set to reach a new milestone in 2025. The company has announced that Xbox Cloud Gaming support will officially be available on LG TVs, allowing gamers to enjoy a wide range of titles through cloud streaming.
Xbox Cloud Gaming Support on LG TVs
Starting later this year, LG TV owners will have the opportunity to download the Xbox app on their devices. This will grant them access to hundreds of games from the Game Pass Ultimate catalogue, including highly anticipated titles like Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which was named Game of the Year in 2024 by Eurogamer.
In addition to playing games from the Game Pass Ultimate catalogue, users will also be able to stream select Xbox games they already own, even if these titles are not currently available through Game Pass. Microsoft has curated a list of over 50 titles that are compatible with this feature.
Requirements and Compatibility
To enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming on LG TVs, users will need to have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which starts at £14.99 per month. Additionally, they will require a supported LG Smart TV. While Microsoft has not specified which LG TV models will be compatible with the service, more information will be shared in the coming months.
Expansion to LG TVs
The introduction of Xbox Cloud Gaming on LG TVs follows its successful launch on Amazon Fire TV devices last year and on Samsung TVs in 2022. This move aligns with Microsoft’s strategy to make cloud gaming accessible to a wider audience, following the cancellation of its Xbox cloud gaming device, codenamed Keystone, in 2022.
