Xbox has just made it even easier to play video games, making your console a thing of the past.
In the modern age of gaming, it’s never been easier to access content. Depending on the tier you subscribe to with Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, a huge library can be played in an instant without inserting a disc or downloading a game.
Nowadays, not only can you stream video games from your Xbox and PlayStation consoles, but you can even stream to compatible mobile and tablet devices.

Streaming is an absolute godsend if you want to play the likes of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, South of Midnight or God of War Ragnarök while your other half occupies the TV, not to mention that it also saves precious hard drive space.
In our review of South of Midnight, GAMINGbible’s Kate said it’s: “an unmissable experience despite playing it safe in a couple of key areas. This is an exceptional adventure that I simply couldn’t put down, and I truly hope it’s not the last journey I’ll venture on with Hazel.”
Typically, you would stream games via the console, but now, you can stream games directly from your TV without ever needing to fire up an Xbox.
As reported by Eurogamer, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now access the cloud gaming app via compatible LG smart TVs, allowing you to play games directly from the Microsoft servers.
This feature isn't entirely new because some Samsung TVs have been able to stream Xbox games since 2022, but now, this service is jumping brands.
Other than a compatible TV, a stable broadband connection and an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you will need a Bluetooth controller to play games via the TV. However, an Xbox and DualSense controller will do just fine.
Fingers crossed, this feature will roll out on other branded smart TVs soon. That being said, as great as it is to access video games so easily, hopefully, it won't see the demise of our beloved consoles.
