LG Electronics has partnered with Blacknut to offer an enhanced cloud gaming experience on its latest smart TVs. While a Blacknut cloud gaming app has been available on LG TVs for awhile now, individual games are now being integrated into the OS starting with Jackbox Party Starter and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway.
This collaboration marks an advancement in gaming accessibility, transforming ordinary televisions into powerful gaming hubs without requiring additional hardware or consoles.
Cloud Gaming: The Next Evolution
We at Cloud Dosage know that cloud gaming has been gaining popularity, offering a glimpse into a future where high-quality gaming doesn’t depend on owning a high-end gaming PC. Instead, the processing power resides in remote servers, streaming gameplay directly to your device. This shift democratizes access to top-tier games and simplifies the user experience.
LG’s partnership with Blacknut brings over 500 PC and console games to users, including AAA titles like Metro Exodus and family-friendly options such as Overcooked, along with a selection of Disney games. LG’s OLED TVs promise smooth gameplay with a 0.1 millisecond response time and minimal input lag, ensuring a seamless and immersive experience on their renowned OLED TVs.
Game Quick Card: Your Gateway to Gaming
LG TVs have had cloud gaming applications for a while now. But, the integration with Blacknut that’s arriving is now deeper.
Customers can now natively access and install the games on LG’s WebOS App Store on LG Smart TVs. Upon downloading, LG gamers can play a 30-minute2 free demo before unlocking the full game for a small monthly subscription fee with no lock-in contract required.
One standout feature of LG’s new gaming initiative is the Game Quick Card on WebOS – individual games from Blacknut will be highlighted. This intuitive interface provides easy access to a variety of cloud gaming services directly from the home screen. Users can explore Blacknut’s extensive library and other services like NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Utomik, and Boosteroid, all without needing to switch devices or inputs.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Cloud Gaming on LG TVs
LG remains committed to expanding its cloud gaming integration beyond Blacknut, with plans to integrate additional services like Amazon Luna (already available as an app in the LG Game Hub) in the future. This strategy reflects LG’s ambition to create a comprehensive entertainment ecosystem that seamlessly blends gaming, streaming, and traditional TV viewing.
As cloud gaming evolves, partnerships like LG and Blacknut’s are poised to shape the future of digital entertainment. This means increased flexibility, reduced clutter, and an expanding library of games accessible with the click of a button.
Ultimately, while your family members may still struggle with the remote, they won’t trip over stray gaming consoles on their way to the kitchen. That’s progress.
