As per the official Xbox blogpost, “This means existing Samsung customers will have instant access to Xbox Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, letting players stream hundreds of high-quality Xbox games, including new releases like Grounded and Pentiment, directly on their Smart TVs.”
New Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can join or upgrade for just $1 directly in the app. According to Xbox, ” If you don’t have a membership and just want to try the experience for yourself before you sign up, you can play Fortnite for free.”
In March last year, the company unveiled its 2021 lineup of Micro LED, Neo QLED, lifestyle TVs, monitors and soundbars, that aimed to redefine the role of TV in the home and let consumers get the most from their screens — work efficiently, communicate effectively, and explore personal passions.
The company, which was the number one global TV manufacturer for 15 consecutive years, aimed to break new ground in 2021 to offer consumers extraordinary viewing experiences.
Additionally, Xbox is also investing in making the cloud gaming experience better by adding a controller rumble to the Xbox App.
