Xbox Cloud gaming not showing games on smart TV

Hi Kaissa,

As explained above, keyboard and mouse unfortunately isn’t compatible with Cloud gaming at the moment. There are various controllers that are supported, though.

Refer to this guide:

which includes a section confirming what controllers are compatible and how to connect a controller to your smart TV

Hope this helps.

When you play through the Xbox app on a smart tv, you are playing through the cloud. Only games available for cloud gaming will show up. It doesn't make it possible to play just any of your games that you own, only the ones that support cloud gaming with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Smart TVs typically do not have native support for complex gaming peripherals like the Logitech G920. These devices are usually designed to interface with PCs or gaming consoles through specific drivers and software that a Smart TV doesn't support.

If you're using Xbox Cloud Gaming (previously known as xCloud), the primary compatibility concern is whether the cloud gaming service and the device you're using it on (in this case, your Samsung Smart TV) support the G920. As of my last update in April 2023, Xbox Cloud Gaming primarily supported standard Xbox controllers.

Unfortunately, microphone output is not yet supported when Cloud Gaming on a Smart TV. For your reference, the following information has been quoted from an official Xbox Support page:

"Microphone output isn’t currently supported when cloud gaming via the Xbox app on a smart TV. A fix is coming soon. You can still use your headset to hear game and chat audio."

As a fellow gamer, I understand this is likely not the answer you were hoping for. I'm sorry, Adam.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help.

Best regards.

Hi David! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

I am afraid that's not possible because a smart TV doesn't support remote play. However, if you have a smart Samsung TV, you can use the Xbox Cloud gaming. It needs an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Please check the link below to know more about setting it up on Smart TV.
