Samsung announced it has partnered with Microsoft to bring the Xbox app to smart TVs. Thanks to the partnership, the company's new game streaming discovery platform, Samsung Gaming Hub, will become the first Smart TV platform to include the Xbox app on Smart TVs.

The app will allow users to stream over 100 games from the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate library including titles like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. In addition, the company said that new games from Xbox Studios will also be added to the app on day one of their releases.
