Overview
- Xbox has begun a phased rollout of a dedicated Xbox app to VIDAA OS smart TVs from 2024–2026 and to select Hisense models, with availability expanding as firmware updates reach more devices and regions.
- Subscribers on Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or Essential can stream hundreds of games to updated VIDAA TVs and keep save files synced across devices.
- The app supports multiple Bluetooth controllers, including Xbox Wireless, Xbox Adaptive, Xbox Elite Series 2, PlayStation DualSense, and DualShock 4, and it requires a reliable high‑speed internet connection for cloud streaming.
- To get the app users must update their TV to VIDAA OS 9.6 or higher, after which the Xbox app will appear on the Home Page or under the Games menu and users sign into their Xbox account to start playing.
- The launch is part of Xbox’s broader push to deliver cloud gaming on existing screens, a move that could lower the cost to play for many people but will produce uneven access early on because VIDAA firmware updates are staggered by model and region.
