At Xbox, our mission is to bring the joy and community of gaming to everyone in the world. We’re committed to making that vision a reality by providing great games and services, and enabling more people to play than ever before. That’s why we created Xbox Game Pass and continue to expand Cloud Gaming to new devices – so we can give people the power to play on the devices they already own: PC, console, mobile, tablet devices and now Smart TVs.
Last June, we shared our vision to bring Xbox to more gamers by collaborating with global TV manufacturers to embed the Xbox experience in Smart TVs. Today the Xbox team provided an update on our approach and vision, including how we are making last year’s vision a reality by bringing the Xbox app to smart TVs, starting with our partner Samsung, the global leader for TV.
Samsung and Xbox have partnered to bring Xbox Game Pass to millions of Samsung Galaxy phones around the world, and now we’re working together again to bring our Xbox gaming experience to their 2022 Smart TVs. I’m excited that you can experience cloud gaming on Smart TVs in 27 countries on June 30th.
