Google Stadia is one of a growing number of cloud-based gaming platforms.

Native support is available in the 22 markets where Stadia is available. This means that only newer smart TV models support the cloud-based gaming platform – if your model was made before 2020, there’s a good chance it won’t be included. Stadia subscribers can download the app from the LG app store on their smart TV, but only if the model is running webOS 5.0 or webOS 6.0. In an announcement today, the South Korean company said some of its smart TVs now also offer Google Stadia (via PRNewswire). LG’s smart TV platform is called webOS it gives users direct access to popular streaming services like Netflix and Disney +, apps that provide information on things like weather and more.

Some manufacturers like TCL and Westinghouse bundle their smart TVs with third-party operating systems like Fire TV and Roku OS, while other companies like LG sell smart TVs with the company’s own operating system. Unlike a regular “mute” TV, a smart TV has more robust hardware that powers an integrated operating system.
