Microsoft has just announced the upcoming arrival of the Xbox Game Pass application on Samsung smart TVs. It will be possible to play all the titles in the catalog via the Cloud, without the need for a console.
It will soon be possible to play the latest Xbox Series X titles on your TV… and this without Xbox Series X. Microsoft has just announced that its Xbox Game Pass application will arrive at the end of the month on Samsung smart TVs.
Players will be able to launch more than 100 games from the Xbox catalog without needing a console. Only a good connection will suffice, since not everything will pass through the cloud. The application will be available from June 30 in 27 countries, including France, on all Samsung televisions produced in 2022.
The Xbox Cloud arrives on Samsung smart TVs, a new step for the service
The app seems to work the same as on Android or PC. You launch it, you connect to your account and for a subscription, you can stream all the titles offered, whether Halo Infinite, Sea of Thieves or Forza Horizon 5. Note that Fortnite will also be present in the game. application, but can be launched without having a subscription.
As on other platforms, the service is limited at 1080p and 60 frames per second. A necessary sacrifice to ensure a quality experience, that is to say stable. To play, of course, you need a controller. It will be possible to connect your Xbox pad or a controller from another brand, such as the DualSense, as long as it is Bluetooth compatible.
The arrival of the Xbox application on smart TV is an extremely clever maneuver on the part of Microsoft, and above all very important. However, the Redmond company does not intend to stop there, since the app will soon be available from other manufacturers, we are promised.
In any case, Microsoft’s objective does not change: allow everyone to play Xbox Series X everywhere, whenever they want, without even having a console. Because as paradoxical as it may seem, the nerve center of this generation is not the Xbox, but the Game Pass service. The firm sees far, since it claims to build the video game landscape for the next 20 years.
Microsoft will hold a conference next Sunday to announce its next games. Chances are that it will go all out by presenting a myriad of unreleased titles.
