Microsoft revealed it has teamed up with LG to deliver Xbox Cloud Gaming to certain internet-ready automobiles. Leveraging LG’s webOS Automotive system, riders can launch and enjoy titles straight through the Xbox application. An active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership plus an in-car data package are required to unlock the catalogue, yet Redmond promises immediate entry to hundreds of Game Pass titles.
A fresh demo illustrated the setup, concentrating on back-seat passengers sampling titles—so fears of a real-world Forza Horizon session by whoever’s at the wheel can be shelved.
The push into automobiles feels inevitable; 2025 marketing keeps hammering that an Xbox console isn’t mandatory. “This Is An Xbox” underlines access across phones, TVs, browsers—now dashboards.
Jason Ronald, VP of Next Generation at Xbox, also outlined the roadmap for the upcoming Xbox hardware, saying the goal is to let gamers start on the go and finish on a dedicated box. “We’re simply building a platform shaped around how and where people already like to play,” he noted.
Granted, an LG ride bristling with LTE antennas and twin seat-back displays will likely cost more than a Series X, yet it suddenly makes the approaching ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handheld PCs look reasonable. They arrive October 16; prices remain unannounced, though rumors tag the premium model at around $900.
