Major Title Additions
Just Dance Now arrives on LG Smart TVs running webOS 22 or later, currently available in the US, Australia, Sweden, and Norway, with European expansion coming soon. Through LG’s partnership with Ubisoft, players follow dance routines to popular songs using the LG Magic Remote’s motion-sensing technology—no console necessary.
Asphalt Legends Unite joins the lineup through Blacknut partnership, offered free with ads in the US. The arcade racing game features all cars and tracks unlocked from launch, controlled entirely via the TV remote’s directional keys. This demonstrates LG’s focus on accessibility without requiring additional gaming hardware.
My Little Puppy, a narrative adventure published by Krafton and delivered via Blacknut, emphasizes emotional storytelling with vivid graphics optimized for large-screen viewing. The game showcases how cloud gaming enables console-quality experiences directly through Smart TVs.
Voice-Controlled Gaming Innovation
LG partnered with Volley to introduce voice AI games to the Gaming Portal in the US. The initial lineup includes classic game-show format Jeopardy! and music trivia title Song Quiz. These games rely entirely on voice commands, making them accessible through the TV itself without traditional controllers.
This voice-control integration removes barriers for casual players unfamiliar with gamepad controls while enabling family-friendly social gaming experiences in living rooms.
Smartphone Controller Integration
LG launched the LG Mobile Gamepad Wi-Fi app for Android and iOS, transforming smartphones into wireless game controllers for supported titles. The app eliminates the need to purchase separate physical controllers, making multiplayer setups more convenient and cost-effective.
This flexibility allows households to use existing devices as controllers rather than investing in additional gaming peripherals, lowering the barrier to entry for cloud gaming on Smart TVs.
Developer Community Recognition
LG spotlights creativity from its webOS developer community by adding two award-winning games from the recent LG webOS Hackathon. Quest of Sunflower by Couchplay, the Grand Prize winner, delivers a family-friendly adventure featuring AI-driven storytelling mechanics.
Signs of Magic by Lukas Klingsbo utilizes the gyroscopic sensors in the LG Magic Remote, allowing players to cast spells through gesture-based wand movements. These indie titles demonstrate the platform’s versatility beyond AAA cloud gaming.
Platform Reach and Requirements
The Gaming Portal is available across LG Smart TVs, Smart Monitors, and third-party TVs running webOS 6.0 or higher in 35+ countries, including the US, Canada, South Korea, and various European and Latin American markets.
LG integrates major cloud gaming services including Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Amazon Luna, Blacknut, Boosteroid, and GeForce NOW. The intuitive “Play with Gamepad” menu lets players select their preferred service for instant access to thousands of titles.
4K 120Hz HDR Cloud Gaming
LG TVs became the world’s first to support up to 4K 120Hz with HDR cloud gaming via the native GeForce NOW app through partnership with NVIDIA. This sets a new benchmark for immersive, high-performance streaming experiences on television displays.
The combination of cutting-edge display technology and expanded game libraries positions LG’s Gaming Portal as a comprehensive gaming ecosystem that rivals traditional console experiences.
No-Barrier Gaming Philosophy
LG continues positioning its Gaming Portal as a low-barrier way to play on the biggest screen in the house. With support for remote controls, smartphones, and cloud delivery, the platform eliminates the need for expensive consoles, gaming PCs, or external streaming devices.
This accessibility-focused approach democratizes gaming, allowing anyone with an LG Smart TV to instantly access thousands of titles without upfront hardware investments beyond a compatible controller for certain games.
