After launching on 2022 Samsung TVs earlier this year, Samsung has announced that its 2021 TV range now has access to the Xbox Cloud Gaming app.
This allows you to play pretty much any game on Xbox Game Pass including the likes of Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite on your 2021 Samsung TV with just a controller. No console is needed, only a subscription and an internet connection. It’s also been announced that the Xbox Cloud Gaming app now supports rumble on all TVs that it is compatible with.
Good news! @Xbox Cloud Gaming has rolled out to 2021 Samsung Smart TVs just in time for the holidays. Another little surprise while jumping into your next game: You may feel something different, as the team has enabled controller rumble (((🎮))) Check it out! @SamsungGaming pic.twitter.com/sbM8rPChEc

We’ve been able to go hands-on with this both on our 2022 Samsung TV as well as the Odyssey Ark monitor that we reviewed recently and the experience works really well, especially if you’re just wanting to play some games over Christmas at your family home or somewhere where you don’t have an Xbox but do have a Samsung TV.
