LG Electronics<\/span><\/span><\/a> is rolling out new titles on its LG Gaming Portal, expanding the catalog of games available directly on LG Smart TVs<\/a> powered by webOS. The update strengthens LG\u2019s push to position webOS as a device-free gaming platform, allowing users to play without consoles or additional hardware.<\/p>\n

LG says the Gaming Portal now offers more than 4,000 cloud-based games and 600 casual titles, accessible straight from compatible Smart TVs. The move reflects the company\u2019s broader strategy of transforming its TV ecosystem into a central hub for streaming, content, and interactive entertainment.<\/p>\n

Just Dance Now and Voice-Controlled Games Arrive<\/h4>\n

Among the new additions is Just Dance Now<\/span><\/span>, now available on LG Smart TVs running webOS 22 or later in select markets including the United States, Australia, Sweden, and Norway, with broader European availability expected soon. Through LG\u2019s collaboration with Ubisoft<\/span><\/span>, users can follow choreography using the LG Magic Remote\u2019s motion-sensing capabilities, eliminating the need for a console or dedicated controllers.<\/p>\n

LG has also partnered with Volley<\/span><\/span> to bring voice-controlled games to its Smart TVs in the US. Volley\u2019s lineup includes adaptations of Jeopardy!<\/span><\/span> and music trivia title Song Quiz<\/span><\/span>, designed to be played through voice interaction in the living room.<\/p>\n

Arcade Racing and Narrative Adventures<\/h4>\n

For racing fans, LG teams up with Blacknut<\/span><\/span> to introduce Asphalt Legends Unite<\/span><\/span>. Available free with ads in the US, the game provides access to cars and maps from the start, playable using a TV remote.<\/p>\n

Another addition is My Little Puppy<\/span><\/span>, published by Krafton<\/span><\/span> and offered via Blacknut. The adventure title follows a narrative-driven journey centered on companionship and reunion, leveraging large-screen visuals for a more immersive experience.<\/p>\n

Smartphone as Controller<\/h4>\n

To complement the growing catalog, LG introduced the LG Mobile Gamepad Wi-Fi app, now available on Android and iOS devices.<\/p>\n

The app allows smartphones to function as game controllers for supported titles. It offers an alternative to the Magic Remote and enabling multiplayer gameplay without additional hardware purchases.<\/p>\n

Hackathon Winners Join the Portal<\/h4>\n

LG is also adding two award-winning titles from last year\u2019s LG webOS Hackathon. Quest of Sunflower<\/span><\/span> by Couchplay, the Grand Prize winner, delivers a family-focused adventure experience featuring AI-generated storytelling. Meanwhile, Signs of Magic<\/span><\/span> by Lukas Klingsbo integrates gesture controls, turning the Magic Remote into a wand-like controller using gyroscopic sensors for spell-casting mechanics.<\/p>\n

With its expanding catalog and controller flexibility, LG is continuing to develop webOS beyond streaming, positioning its Smart TVs as a consolidated entertainment and gaming platform without the need for external consoles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
