LG Smart TVs Get Xbox App, Ushering in Console-Free Gaming for Indian Users

Seoul, South Korea – LG Electronics has launched its biggest smart TV update yet, introducing the “LG Gaming Portal” and, crucially, the official Xbox app. This update allows gamers in India and around the world to stream Xbox games directly on compatible LG TVs without needing a dedicated console.

The LG Gaming Portal acts as a centralized hub, integrating various cloud gaming services for seamless access. Users can now launch supported titles instantly, bypassing downloads and installations.

With the Xbox app now integrated within the Gaming Portal, LG smart TV owners can stream popular titles such as Forza Horizon 5, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and Raji: An Ancient Epic, all accessible through Xbox Game Pass.

To get started, users will need an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with Microsoft currently offering three monthly plans in India. These subscriptions grant access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, where customers can play hundreds of games on their supported devices.

The Gaming Portal and Xbox app are rolling out in phases via a software update. Eligible TV models include LG smart TVs launched between 2021 and 2025 operating on webOS. Once installed, the Gaming Portal will automatically appear on the home screen.

Microsoft recently launched Xbox Cloud Gaming in India. Besides LG smart TVs, it’s also accessible via Xbox consoles, PCs, smartphones, Samsung TVs, Windows handheld gaming devices, and Amazon Fire TV Stick or TV Cube. With this latest update from LG, console-free gaming is now more accessible, particularly for Indian users interested in big-screen cloud gaming.
