If you’ve ever wished you could play Xbox games without needing a console in your living room, 2026 is shaping up to be your year. Microsoft has announced that the Xbox app is coming to select Hisense and V homeOS-powered Smart TVs, letting players stream games straight to their TVs using Xbox Cloud Gaming. No console? No problem.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers whether you’re on Ultimate, Premium, or Essential, will now be able to play hundreds of titles directly through the TV app. That means everything from new releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 to fan-favorite indie games like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be available at your fingertips. And if you already own certain games, you may be able to stream those too, making it super convenient to pick up where you left off.

This move is part of Microsoft’s bigger push to make gaming more flexible. The Xbox app has already been rolling out on Samsung TVs, Amazon Fire TV devices, and select LG TVs, and adding Hisense and V homeOS TVs just expands the options. The company wants to make sure your games, friends, and achievements are always within reach, no matter where you are in your home.
While Microsoft hasn’t confirmed an exact date yet, they’ve promised the Xbox app will be available on these TVs sometime in 2026. It’s another step toward a future where gaming isn’t tied to one device, letting you play your way, wherever you are.
The Takeaway
If you’re a Game Pass subscriber with a compatible Hisense or V homeOS TV, 2026 will make it easier than ever to game without a console. Streaming through Xbox Cloud Gaming means more flexibility, more convenience, and more ways to enjoy your favourite titles. Your living room could quickly become the ultimate gaming hub, and all you need is your TV and a good internet connection.
