LG Electronics said Monday that it is expanding the gaming capabilities in its 2021 and 2022 TVs, with support for additional cloud-gaming services Blacknut and Utomik Cloud, joining previously announced game-streaming services Google Stadia and Nvidia GeForce Now.
At the same time, LG said it is adding an update to the user interface through a new “Gaming Shelf” section in the webOS user interface on 2021 and 2022 LCD and OLED models. The Gaming Shelf is said to speed up the process of getting into gaming action.
LG said the collection of cloud-gaming services will make it possible to access and play compelling video games without the need for a PC, console or game installation. The Blacknut and Utomik Cloud gaming apps will be available to install through the LG Apps Store on 2021 and 2022 webOS LG TVs starting in September and November, respectively.
