Xbox Game Pass Coming to TCL Google TVs
Microsoft has officially confirmed its partnership with TCL to bring an Xbox Game Pass app to select TCL smart TVs. This app will allow Xbox Game Pass subscribers to access Xbox Cloud Gaming and stream supported games directly from their television sets without additional hardware.
The announcement follows an initial teaser from TCL at CES 2026 regarding the integration of Xbox Game Pass into its Google TV models. Microsoft had not publicly acknowledged this collaboration until now.
Availability and Exclusivity
The Xbox Game Pass app is expected to launch in the "coming months." While it represents the first official availability of Xbox Cloud Gaming on Google TV, Microsoft's announcement did not explicitly name Google TV, suggesting the app might be exclusive to TCL TVs rather than the broader Google TV platform. TCL is a significant Google TV partner.
Impact on Cloud Gaming
This integration provides a direct pathway for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to access cloud gaming on compatible TCL televisions. Players will be able to stream a library of games, including blockbuster releases and indie titles, through their Game Pass subscription. This development comes shortly after Microsoft announced changes to its cloud gaming service, introducing a limited number of hours per month for subscribers.
