Just because you haven’t yet gotten your hands on an Xbox Series S or X doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the newest games. In fact, a Samsung smart TV might be all you need. Microsoft has teamed up with the electronics manufacturer to bring Xbox game streaming straight to its TVs - no console required. It’s called Xbox TV, and it will allow anyone with a $14.99/month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a newer Samsung TV or monitor to stream over 100 games without an actual Xbox. Like with any other smart TV app, you’ll be able to select Xbox TV from your device’s menu. The app will then prompt you to log into your Microsoft account. From there you’ll enjoy an experience virtually identical to Xbox Cloud Gaming, which facilitates streaming via an internet browser.

The app will support Bluetooth audio input and output (for your good old Xbox banter) and will send saved data to the cloud. When it comes to controller support, you’ll get a few choices: the full range of Xbox controllers as well as Sony’s DualSense will connect to the app via Bluetooth.
