Xbox TV App For Smart TVs Allows Cloud Gaming Without A Console

Microsoft has broadened its cloud gaming ambitions with a new Xbox TV app that lets you play over 100 games without a console. All you need is a fast and reliable internet connection and a Samsung smart TV. The latter is because Microsoft has shaken hands with Samsung to bring this Xbox gaming for Smart TVs through the Samsung Gaming Hub service. For the unversed, Gaming Hub is like a store that connects games and streaming services. The addition of the Xbox app to its roster could benefit both brands.

“Together, Samsung and Xbox partnered to bring Xbox Game Pass to the millions of Samsung Galaxy phones around the world, and now we are partnering again to bring our Xbox gaming experience to their 2022 Smart TVs. I’m excited for you to experience cloud gaming on Smart TVs on June 30 in 27 countries,” said Ashley McKissick, Corporate Vice President, Gaming Experiences & Platforms.

So, you see Xbox gaming on Samsung smart TVs is coming on June 30, 2022, in 27 countries.

Here’s what that entails —

2. Once you have all the above ready and set, open the Xbox TV app from the Samsung Smart TV hub. Sign in to your Microsoft account.

PS5 unboxing videos show how huge the console is

To say that Sony has been a bit coy when it comes to the PlayStation 5 would be a bit of an understatement. The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
