LG’s latest TVs are scheduled to receive new updates for gamers in the form of a new UI and the addition of two new cloud-gaming services. The new UI update makes it easier for owners to “get in the game,” according to LG, while the Blacknut and Utomik Cloud cloud-gaming services will be arriving on LG TVs in September and November, respectively. Blacknut features “over 500 PC and console games,” while Utomik Cloud “boasts a curated and growing selection of 100+ games from its 1,300+ PC games library,” including titles such as Coffee Talk, My Time at Portia and Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Owners of LG TVs running webOS 6.0 and webOS 2022 should find the new apps later this month on the LG Apps Store.

LG Unveils New Gaming UI, Expands Gaming Experience With New Cloud-Gaming Services

LG Electronics (LG) is expanding the gaming experience on its latest TVs, adding new cloud-gaming services to give users more choice, and a UI update that makes it easier to get in the game. These latest upgrades are representative of LG’s continuing commitment to bringing gamer-centric content and capabilities to its industry-leading TVs.

Requiring no PC, console or game installations, cloud-gaming platforms make gaming more accessible than ever. Blacknut and Utomik Cloud, arriving on LG TVs in September and November, respectively, deliver a wealth of titles spanning classic AAA games, indie favorites, story-driven adventures, sports, strategy and more. Via monthly subscriptions, the two apps offer users the ability to select and instantly play any game from their extensive catalogs – both of which welcome new titles monthly.

Blacknut presents subscribers with over 500 PC and console games, with the greatest variety of premium content for all members of the family and with up to five players’ profiles. The Blacknut catalog offers the largest collection of racing and sports games in the cloud gaming space, but also critically acclaimed hits, such as Metro Exodus, Overcooked and a vast collection of Disney games. Utomik Cloud boasts a curated and growing selection of 100+ games from its 1,300+ PC games library covering diverse genres with indie favorites like Coffee Talk, My Time at Portia and Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion among the platform’s many highlights.

The new cloud gaming apps will be arriving starting this month on the LG Apps Store on LG TVs running webOS 6.0 and webOS 2022. And thanks to LG’s newly updated gaming UI, users will soon be able to find a range of popular cloud gaming services on the convenient Gaming Shelf,2 which can be easily found on the new Home Screen. Select NVIDIA GeForce NOW titles are already accessible from the Gaming Shelf. The ability to access games from Google Stadia and other gaming services via the Gaming Shelf will be added to LG TV in future updates.
