#cloud gaming without Xbox

Microsoft is continuing its push to make Xbox gaming more accessible than ever—this time by bringing the Xbox app to LG smart TVs. Starting today, owners of select LG TVs can stream Xbox games directly from the cloud, no console required. Users simply need to download the Xbox app from the LG Content Store, connect a Bluetooth-enabled controller, and subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to jump into a growing library of cloud-enabled titles. The Xbox TV app allows for a near-console experience, offering high-quality visuals and responsive gameplay over the cloud—ideal for gamers who don’t own a physical Xbox console. For the latest 2025 LG models, including new OLEDs and gaming monitors, the Xbox app is integrated directly into the LG Gaming Portal, providing seamless access right out of the box. The app interface mirrors what players have come to expect from Xbox Cloud Gaming on browsers and mobile—quick navigation, personalized game suggestions, and the full Game Pass Ultimate library. With a strong internet connection and a controller, players can explore major Xbox titles such as Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, and Minecraft Legends without touching a console. With smart TVs becoming increasingly common, especially among tech-savvy gamers, the decision to bring cloud gaming to these devices helps lower the barrier to entry for high-end gaming experiences.
