Xbox Cloud Gaming rolls out to Hisense and VIDAA TVs
V has begun adding the Xbox app to select Hisense and other VIDAA OS-powered smart TVs in more than 25 markets, letting Game Pass subscribers stream games directly on the TV. The rollout depends on a phased VIDAA OS 9.6 update for compatible 4K models from 2024 through 2026.
Why it matters: - Xbox Cloud Gaming is moving from consoles and PCs into the TV operating system itself. - The rollout gives Game Pass subscribers another way to play without downloads or extra hardware beyond a compatible controller and fast internet. - V is positioning VIDAA TVs as a broader entertainment hub that now includes cloud gaming alongside streaming, live TV, apps, and sports.
What happened: - V, the company behind the VIDAA smart TV operating system, launched support for the Xbox app on select Hisense and other VIDAA OS-powered smart TVs. - The rollout has started across more than 25 markets. - Support is being delivered to compatible Hisense and VIDAA OS-powered 4K Smart TVs from the 2024, 2025, and 2026 model years. - Customers will get a software update notification on eligible TVs. - Once VIDAA OS 9.6 is installed and confirmed, the Xbox app becomes available. - Users can sign in, connect a compatible controller, and start gaming from the TV.
The details: - Xbox Game Pass subscribers can stream games with no downloads required. - The setup requires only a compatible controller and a high-speed internet connection. - The Xbox app brings cloud gaming into the V entertainment ecosystem. - Available titles include Forza Horizon 6, Rematch, and Grounded 2. - V says the experience is designed for responsive gameplay on a living room TV or another TV in the home. - V has more than 50 million connected devices worldwide and more than 400 brand partners.
Between the lines: - The launch shows TV operating systems competing to become the primary interface for entertainment, not just a gateway to streaming apps. - Cloud gaming on TVs reduces friction for casual players who do not want a console or a separate device. - The phased software rollout suggests availability will vary by market and model for weeks or months. - V is using Xbox support to strengthen VIDAA’s value proposition in premium entertainment.
What's next: - VIDAA OS 9.6 will continue rolling out in phases over the coming weeks and months. - More eligible TVs should gain the Xbox app as the update reaches additional markets and models. - Users with compatible devices should watch for the software update notification on their TV. - Once the update lands, the Xbox app should be ready for sign-in and play within a few clicks.
The bottom line: - VIDAA TVs are becoming cloud-gaming devices, and Xbox is the latest big-name service to plug in.
