Won’t let me play cloud games on Samsung tv

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Bruhname, have your Xbox controller paired with the TV?

What happens when I click on Play, the game doesn't run, does it show an error message?

There isn't one. Only Samsung TV's at the moment do Xbox Cloud gaming, but none that can play games remotely.

I bought the xbox x and connected it to my old samsung tv and it worked great. I bought a new samsung qled tv for Christmas and hooked it up. The tv is so smart it recognized the xbox and loaded it onto tv. I tried to play a game from the console but it doesn't allow me to access it. I can only get what you call cloud gaming. Is there a way to play directly to tv like before. Thanks for your help.

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:

Cloud gaming with the Xbox app on your smart TV | Xbox Support

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

Hope this helps.

Hi, Cody! thank you for reaching out.

I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues playing Fortnite on Cloud Gaming.

Fortnite is currently investigating an issue that is preventing Xbox users from signing in to the game on Xbox consoles and Xbox Cloud Gaming. I'm afraid this is the reason why you are getting the “an error has occurred while trying to sign into your Xbox live account” error message.
