Xbox app coming to 2022 Samsung Smart TVs and Smart Monitor Series on June 30

Microsoft will release the Xbox app for 2022 Samsung Smart TVs including Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, QLEDs, and Smart Monitor Series on June 30, the company announced.

The release will enable Samsung Gaming Hub users to stream over 100 games available in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate library, plus Fortnite.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games will require a membership to play, while Fortnite can be played without a subscription.

“We’re on a quest to bring the joy and community of gaming to everyone on the planet, and bringing the Xbox app to smart TVs is another step in making our vision a reality,” said Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer in a press release. “That’s why we’re excited to partner with Samsung, a global leader in TVs, on bringing Xbox to more players. Working with Samsung has helped us provide more access to gaming and enabled us to welcome new players into our thriving community.”

Samsung president and head of the Service Business Team at Samsung Electronics Won-Jin Lee added, “Xbox has been an integral partner for Samsung and shares in our vision and dedication to bring the ultimate game streaming experience to everywhere in the home. We are excited to deepen our partnership with Xbox by adding the Xbox app to Samsung Gaming Hub, which now gives Samsung Smart TV users access to hundreds of Xbox Game Pass games. With the same ease that our customers watch live sports and stream movies on Samsung Neo QLEDs and QLEDs, they can now play their favorite games.”
