Today’s a game-changer, quite literally, for Xbox enthusiasts. LG Smart TVs have started rolling out an update that lets Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members in over 25 countries dive into their favorite games right from their TV screens. This exciting feature is available on select 2022 OLED models, some 2023 LG Smart TVs, newer iterations, and even on smart monitors equipped with webOS 24 or later. Not to worry if your device isn’t included yet; it’s slated to include the StanbyME display soon.
This innovation opens up a gateway to a treasure trove of titles for Game Pass Ultimate members. You can jump right into the action with popular games like Avowed and South of Midnight, or gear up for the eagerly anticipated releases such as Towerborne. Plus, the service ensures that members can stream a selection of Xbox games they already own. Whether you’re shooting hoops in NBA 2K25 or casting spells in Hogwarts Legacy, the flexibility of playing your favorite games on a bigger screen has never been more accessible. The comprehensive game list is available online for those keen to see all options.
