Microsoft has committed heavily to off-console gaming, providing access to a growing library of indie and AAA titles. Enjoy Xbox Cloud Gaming on various devices, providing a flexible gaming experience on mobile, smart TVs, and VR headsets.

Xbox's Cloud Gaming and remote play services are seeing excessively long load times as holiday demand hits servers.

Xbox Cloud Gaming is coming to some LG TVs “later this year,” Microsoft and LG announced at CES 2025.

Microsoft's first-party Xbox controller is an obvious solution with widespread compatibility. Pairing these peripherals to LG TVs is usually straightforward.

It’s teaming up with LG’s television division to prove it, announcing a partnership that will bring Xbox games, via Microsoft’s cloud gaming platform, to select LG TVs.

If you’re a gamer like me, the LG 65-inch UT70 Series 4K Smart TV is the perfect addition to your setup. This TV is a steal at $369.99 from Best Buy, especially with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate integration rolling out next month.
