Blacknut has launched on the LG Gaming Portal in India, giving LG Smart TV users direct access to the cloud gaming service through the TV interface. The Gaming Portal went live on November 12 across compatible models, and Blacknut appears as one of the featured platforms at rollout. The move adds another option for people in India looking to try console-style cloud gaming without a separate device.
Blacknut brings more than 1,000 cloud-playable titles to the portal. Users can open the Gaming Portal, select Blacknut, and start streaming games with no downloads or hardware requirements. The company already operates in the region through its consumer service and B2B partnerships, and this new integration gives people another way to reach the platform directly from their TV.
LG introduced the Gaming Portal as a central hub for cloud gaming apps on its Smart TVs. With Blacknut available from day one, the portal offers a simple entry point for anyone curious about cloud gaming on a television. Xbox Cloud Gaming also launched in India in November, making it a busy month for cloud services expanding into the country’s fast-growing gaming market.
Blacknut and LG describe this rollout as part of their ongoing partnership. The companies have previously worked together on single-game offerings and ad-supported cloud gaming initiatives in other regions. Adding Blacknut to the Gaming Portal in India continues that collaboration as LG expands its gaming features to more markets.
