When it comes to playing video games , the barriers are becoming more and more non-existent. With the improvements in Internet connections, gaming in the cloud has become another alternative to video consoles and PCs, to the point that more and more Smart TV brands support this technology.
If you are a user of an LG Smart TV from 2020 onwards, we have good news, as new cloud gaming services and features are coming to your screen.
New cloud gaming services at LG
One of the brands that had made the most efforts to integrate gaming services in the cloud had been Samsung, but from now on its main competitor, LG, has also decided to step up its game and add a series of platforms such as Amazon Luna.
The subscription to Luna, which for the moment remains restricted to the United States, gives access to games for all audiences, from blockbusters to retro games, family games and much more, with titles such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Everspace and Team Sonic Racing , while Its Prime Gaming channel will give Amazon Prime subscribers access to several exclusive and free-to-play titles every month, although at the moment we still have no news about when it will arrive in our country, which is expected to be this same 2023.
From now on, the brand’s Smart TVs since 2020 incorporate a new interface for webOS with a dedicated and exclusive gaming center. Using the LG Game Card in webOS 2023 , and even using only voice command, you can instantly access hundreds of video games remotely with the only requirement that the smart TV is connected to the Internet. This novelty joins others that were previously available such as Blacknut, Utomik or Boosteroid to expand the catalog of available games.
In addition to this dedicated access, the brand’s televisions have a more personalized gaming experience through various features such as Game Optimizer and specific image adjustments for each game genre, something that will also be taken advantage of through this form of remote online gaming.
GeForce Now coming soon to 4K
Another big news for cloud gaming on LG TVs has to do with the GeForce Now system update , which until now was only available in Full HD resolution on LG 2021 and 2022 TVs with webOS 6.0 or higher.
As in the previous case, from now on it will also be broadcast on the 2020 model year and the highlight is that it will start doing it in 4K later this year . In this way, users of an LG Smart TV will be as if they had a game console integrated into their television, since they will be able to play in the 4K/60 frames per second combination without the need for more hardware than the television itself and a compatible remote.
This service that Nvidia is responsible for allows you to remotely play your own PC games that you have purchased digitally, running from remote hardware with the company’s ultra-powerful graphics, so the signal also reaches up to 4K at 60 FPS in the compatible LG TVs, with ultra-low latency and minimal response time.
