As promised earlier, the Xbox app is now available for Samsung Smart TVs, allowing users to play the Xbox Game Pass catalog through the Cloud without the need for an Xbox console or PC. Let’s see how you can access your Game Center on your Smart TV.
It seems Microsoft is very serious about expanding the platforms that can host their Game Pass service. After launching on Xbox consoles, PC, and smartphones, it’s now time for Samsung Smart TVs to become the new host of Microsoft’s gaming subscription service.
Starting today, you can access the official Xbox app on your Samsung Smart TV, which will allow you to stream games directly to your TV without the need for a console, computer, or mobile phone in between. However, it can be a bit confusing to set up your new gaming platform without some help.
Game Pass requirements for Samsung Smart TV
First of all, this feature is only available on Samsung Smart TVs 2022. So, make sure that you own a model that belongs to this year. Moreover, this feature is currently present in 27 countries, where Xbox Cloud Gaming is accessible. You can see the full list of supported countries here Link.
How to install the Xbox app
Now, in order to open the Xbox app, there are two methods available to you. If your Samsung TV already has a Gaming Hub in the list, open it, and then you can find the Xbox app.
If you don’t have access to the Gaming Hub, go to the Samsung App Store and search for the Xbox app to download and install it.
While you need an active Game Pass Ultimate subscription to play most games on the service, you can play Fortnite for free if you just want to try out the service on your TV.
Keep in mind that you can connect any console to your Samsung 2022 Smart TV using a Bluetooth connection. It does not matter if it is an Xbox console or other third-party consoles. DualSense on PlayStation 5 can be used to play games through Xbox Game Pass on a 2022 Samsung Smart TV.
