Late last year, Microsoft began new advertising campaign around the slogan “This is Xbox.” The campaign aims to raise awareness that gaming on Xbox is no longer limited to just the console, thanks to Xbox Cloud Gaming.

The Xbox app is already available on select Samsung Smart TVs, making LG the second major TV maker to add the Xbox app to its Smart TV OS. Xbox recently announced that it is testing the ability for players to stream games they already have outside of the Game Pass catalog through Xbox Cloud games. This includes games such as Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Baldur’s Gate 3. This feature will be fully available when the Xbox app launches on LG Smart TVs.
