Although the official solution It is only available for Samsung TVsToday it is possible play on the Xbox cloud from an LG Smart TV. To do this you only have to carry out a series of steps that we are going to explain to you below, so, if you are interested in playing games on your TV without needing a console, take a look and take note.
Play xCloud on an LG TV
In order to access the Xbox cloud gaming service we are going to use the TV's integrated browser. It is very important that you know exactly what version of webOS you have on your television, since if you do not have one of the versions indicated below you will not be able to use the service.
The supported webOS versions are as follows:
- WebOS 23
- WebOS 22
- WebOS 6
- WebOS 5
And, obviously, you will need to have access to the browser included in the system, since that will be where we connect to the service.
Connect a gamepad
In order to play on xCloud we need a compatible game controller, so you will have to pair any Bluetooth controller to the TV. Xbox Series X and Series S controllers are compatible, as well as the PS5 DualSense, DualShock 4 or other generic Bluetooth controllers.
To connect a Bluetooth controller to an LG Smart TV you must access the gaming accessories connection panel.
- In webOS 23: Settings > Quick Menu > General > External devices > Connect Bluetooth controller
- In webOS 22: Settings > All settings > General > Devices > External devices > Connect Bluetooth controller
- In webOS 6: Settings > All settings > General > Devices > External devices > Connect Bluetooth controller
- In webOS 5: Settings > All settings > Connection > Device connection settings > Connect Bluetooth controller
You also have the option of connect a USB controller to any of the TV's rear USB ports. Logitech controllers usually don't cause problems, although you can also use a wired DualShock 4.
How to access Xbox Cloud Gaming
With the Bluetooth controller now paired to the TV, it's time to open the browser and enter the web address Xbox.com/play. Remember that if you have the LG ThinQ application installed on your mobile phone, you can enter text in a more comfortable and faster way.
Click on the Sign in icon using the cursor controlled with the Magic Remote, and enter your service credentials. It is important to emphasize that in order to use the Microsoft cloud you need a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
The moment you log in with your Microsoft account, the screen will show the list of available games and you can select the one you want by browsing with the Bluetooth controller that you had previously connected.
