LG unlocks console-free gaming in India with Xbox app on Smart TVs

LG has launched its new Gaming Portal in India, introducing console-free cloud gaming to millions of Smart TV users. The company says the portal creates a single destination for webOS gaming, offering more than 4,000 cloud-streamed titles and over 600 free-to-play games. The move is headlined by the arrival of the Xbox app on LG Smart TVs, allowing players to stream popular titles directly through the cloud.

The portal brings together content from multiple global gaming partners. Users can browse and launch games instantly, ranging from AAA releases to indie favourites, without purchasing a console. With Xbox Game Pass, a high-speed internet connection and a compatible controller, players can jump into hits such as Forza Horizon 5, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Raji: An Ancient Epic.

“We’re thrilled to bring LG Gaming Portal with Xbox to LG Smart TVs in India,” said Brian Jung, Director at LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “The Gaming Portal is designed to make gaming more accessible, convenient, and enjoyable for everyone, from hardcore gamers to casual players.”

LG’s TVs support a range of gaming-focused features, including G-Sync compatibility, up to 165Hz VRR, Intertek-certified 0.1ms response time, AMD FreeSync Premium and Clear MR 10000 on select models, enhancing performance for fast-moving titles.

The Gaming Portal and Xbox app are rolling out now across compatible 2021 to 2025 LG webOS TVs. Availability will expand through software updates across major Indian cities. Users can access the portal through the LG home screen and begin playing by subscribing to Xbox Game Pass.
