At CES 2026, Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox app is coming to select Hisense smart TVs and models running V homeOS, bringing Xbox Cloud Gaming directly to supported TVs in 2026.

With the Xbox app available on compatible sets, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to stream games over the cloud without connecting a console. A supported TV, a controller, and an active subscription are all that’s required.

What You’ll Be Able to Play

Once the Xbox app launches on supported Hisense TVs, players will gain access to a growing library of cloud-enabled games. Microsoft highlighted titles such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as examples of what will be available through cloud streaming.

Beyond Game Pass, Xbox has also confirmed that select digital purchases will be supported through cloud play, consistent with how Xbox Cloud Gaming works on other devices.

Hisense Joins Xbox’s Smart TV Lineup

This announcement adds Hisense to the list of TV manufacturers supporting Xbox Cloud Gaming, extending availability beyond consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. The focus remains on letting players access their games, saves, and achievements across more screens without requiring dedicated hardware in every room.

By expanding onto additional smart TV platforms, Xbox continues to treat cloud gaming as a built-in option rather than a separate system. Microsoft hasn't shared a complete list of supported Hisense TV models, regional rollout details, or performance expectations tied to different hardware tiers. Those specifics are expected closer to launch.

For now, the CES 2026 announcement confirms that Hisense will be one of the next major smart TV partners to support Xbox Cloud Gaming in 2026.
