We’re continuing to bring XBOX to more devices players already own, giving them more ways to jump into their favorite games, especially those who may not be able to afford or justify buying dedicated gaming hardware.
Over the past month, we’ve started rolling out the XBOX app to millions of VIDAA OS-powered Smart TVs from 2024-2026, including supported Hisense models. With a compatible TV and controller, this gives you another way to enjoy your favorite games with XBOX.
XBOX Game Pass subscribers can stream hundreds of games directly to your TV (game library varies over time, by region, device, and Game Pass plan). Whether you’re exploring Forza Horizon 6, Halo: Campaign Evolved, or discovering a new favorite, your progress moves with you, so it’s easy to pick up and play across devices. XBOX Game Pass subscribers can also stream supported games they already own, even outside the Game Pass catalog.
We’re rolling out the XBOX app to compatible VIDAA OS TVs over time, with availability expanding gradually as updates reach additional devices and regions.
How to Get Started
To start playing, you’ll need:
- A VIDAA OS-powered Smart TV or supported Hisense TV running on VIDAA OS 9.6 or higher. For more information on compatible models, contact VIDAA support.
- An XBOX Game Pass subscription – Ultimate, Premium, or Essential.
- A supported Bluetooth enabled wireless controller, like the XBOX Wireless Controller.
- A reliable high-speed internet connection.
How to Get the XBOX App on Your TV
To get started, make sure your TV is updated to VIDAA OS 9.6 and the XBOX app will appear on your Home Page. Here’s how:
