LG Unveils Gaming Portal for webOS Screens
In a bold move to enhance the gaming experience across multiple platforms, LG Electronics is set to introduce its Gaming Portal in 2025. This all-in-one gaming platform will be available not only on LG Smart TVs running webOS 23 and above but will also expand its reach to LG Smart Monitors and StanbyME lifestyle screens, slated for release in the second quarter. Currently, the service is already accessible in 19 markets, including major regions like the USA, UK, and Germany.
Elevating Game Streaming Experience
The Gaming Portal is designed as a central hub that enables gamers to effortlessly discover new titles while enjoying their favorites. Partnerships with leading cloud gaming services such as NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna, Boosteroid, Blacknut, and soon, Xbox Cloud, will enable LG to offer a diverse array of games across various genres. In addition to these, numerous games available as native apps on webOS will also feature prominently, creating a rich universe for gamers to explore.
Seamless Interface and Access
A key aspect of this Gaming Portal is its user-friendly interface. Accessing games via the Home Screen eliminates the need for cumbersome setups with external consoles or additional devices. Users will have a simple navigation experience through a thoughtfully curated app list. This includes cloud gaming apps, webOS app games that can be controlled remotely, the latest trending titles, and an 'Editor's Picks' section — all tailored to enhance user experience.
Choosing your gaming preference becomes remarkably straightforward with options to ‘Play with Remote Control’ or ‘Play with Game Pad’, simplifying the gaming selection process and allowing users to jump straight into the action.
Personalized Gaming Experience
For a more customized engagement, the Gaming Portal features a 'My Page' hub. This function tracks individual achievements and milestones, enabling gamers to earn badges and keep tabs on their progress. Comprehensive stats such as points, levels, and tier upgrades can be viewed, adding an extra layer of motivation and personal connection to the gaming experience. The My Games menu enhances this by allowing users to tailor their own game lists based on preferences, ensuring they never miss a new release.
High-Performance Gaming Features
In addition to accessibility, LG is elevating the technical capabilities of its gaming offerings. LG TVs are optimized to support 4K resolution at 120Hz with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), crucial for fluid, tear-free gameplay. Furthermore, certification as NVIDIA G-SYNC® Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium means that LG TVs are more than equipped to handle the rigors of modern gaming.
The latest LG OLED evo TVs are particularly notable, being the first in the industry to offer 4K at an impressive 165Hz VRR, which ensures that even fast-paced action appears uninterrupted and visually stunning. The recent ClearMR 10000 certification by VESA is another feather in the cap, demonstrating LG’s commitment to delivering a flawless viewing experience.
Commitment to Gaming Excellence
Through the launch of the Gaming Portal, LG is reaffirming its dedication to providing premier gaming experiences compatible with its webOS devices. The intuitive interface, comprehensive gaming options, and advanced display technologies underscore LG's aim to cater to the modern gamer’s needs.
