LG has recently announced that it will bring two of the main services dedicated to cloud gaming, Google Stadia e GeForce Now from Nvidia, on its newest TVs later this year. According to what was communicated, the streaming platform of the Mountain View giant should be available immediately after the new lineup of OLED TV, QNED e Nanocell in 2021 this will start to be shipped spring, while the service of the manufacturer of graphics processors, motherboards and components for multimedia products it should be released later in the year.
The news testifies to continued growth for both services. Google promised that Stadia will arrive on Google TV (including the latest revision of the Chromecast) in the first half of the 2021, an operating system that will be widely supported by Sony's new smart TVs. All the new products of the Japanese giant, presented at CES 2021, should have the new user experience. Regarding GeForce Now, the service is currently available on the Nvidia Shield platform, Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, Android and (in beta) on Safari for iOS and iPadOS. At the moment there is no native support for smart TVs, so LG will be the first company to integrate the US company's cloud gaming platform.
It is currently unclear whether the Korean company will extend support to Google Stadia e GeForce Now even on TVs released in 2020, or even earlier. For now, we are confident that the two services mentioned above will be available on 2021 models, given that the new graphical interface (WebOS 6.0) will introduce a new area within the settings, called "Game Optimizer", within which it will be possible to find all the options dear to the most hardcore gamers, such as refresh rate, input lag and much more.
