LG webOS-Powered TV Users Can Jump Into Immersive Gameplay, With Exclusive
Single Titles, Games Playable With Magic Remote or LG Mobile Gamepad app
SEOUL, Dec. 29, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is rolling out new games on its LG Gaming Portal,1 providing LG Smart TV users with a greater selection of titles, all playable directly on the screen without the need for additional devices. The expanded lineup demonstrates LG’s commitment to broadening its gaming ecosystem and evolving the Gaming Portal into the ultimate destination for compelling gaming experiences.
LG continues to expand its Gaming Portal by offering more than 4,000 cloud-based games and 600 casual titles, presenting compelling gaming experiences directly on LG Smart TVs. By delivering elevated, device-free gaming, LG provides new and engaging ways to enjoy games on the large screens, brought by a growing ecosystem of studios and creators.
Featuring dynamic choreography and familiar global hits, Just Dance Now2 is now available on LG Smart TVs running webOS 22 or later in the US, Australia, Sweden and Norway, with availability across Europe expected in the following weeks. Through LG’s collaboration with Ubisoft, users in supported markets can follow along with their favorite routines without the need for a console or additional controllers. Using the LG Magic Remote, users can enjoy dancing with friends or family through the remote control’s motion-sensing technology, which precisely mirrors their movements on screen for fluid and responsive gameplay.
To bring more fun to every living room in the US, LG has partnered with Volley, the leading developer of voice AI games for smart TVs. Volley’s TV gaming lineup includes game show classics like Jeopardy! and original hits like Song Quiz, a guess-the-song music trivia game. Played by over 50 million people worldwide, Volley is pioneering a new era of voice-controlled entertainment in the living room.
For those who are looking for the high-speed action of arcade racing, LG and Blacknut introduce Asphalt Legends Unite,3 an IP offering dynamic gameplay and exciting challenges to play with friends. Available for free with ads, players can unlock access to all cars and maps from the start, allowing them to race any supercar without in-game purchases. By simply pressing the directional keys on the remote, users in the US can join the race instantly and ride the momentum of every fast-paced moment.
Another uplifting addition4 is My Little Puppy, a heartwarming adventure game published by Krafton and offered by Blacknut, in which players follow the story of a dog as he embarks on a journey of relationships, farewells and reunions. LG Smart TVs bring the lifelike details and vivid scenery of the game’s world to life on the big screen and subtly draw players into its emotional depth.
With a growing ecosystem of games, such as Asphalt Legends Unite and My Little Puppy, LG has made it easier to also play with a smartphone through LG’s new Wi-Fi-based mobile gamepad app. LG Mobile Gamepad Wi-Fi,5 now available on both Android and iOS, allows smartphones to operate as controllers, enabling a seamless, hassle-free experience for supported games.
Recognized at last year’s LG webOS Hackathon for their creativity and innovation, two award-winning games have now been added to the selection of titles on the LG Gaming Portal, allowing users to jump into these immersive game worlds optimized for LG Smart TVs. Quest of Sunflower by Couchplay, the Grand Prize winner, is an epic family adventure powered by stunning graphics and dynamic AI-generated storytelling. Signs of Magic by Lukas Klingsbo, the second-place winner, invites players to join the wizard Elowen on an exciting magical quest to defeat monsters.

Collaboration With Expo City Dubai Marks a Major Step in Company’s B2G Expansion
SEOUL, Nov. 25, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is accelerating its qualitative growth strategy in the Middle East by expanding its business-to-government (B2G) portfolio.
On November 19, LG signed a strategic partnership with Expo City Dubai – a city borne out of the Dubai government-backed 2020 World Expo – to collaborate on the development of a next-generation smart city. The agreement was signed by William Cho, CEO of LG Electronics and Ahmed Al Khatib, Chief Development and Delivery Officer, Expo City Dubai.
The partnership builds on discussions at the Korea–UAE Business Roundtable, where both governments agreed to deepen cooperation in AI-powered service development and AI infrastructure. It also further deepens LG’s long-standing relationship with Expo City Dubai, an innovation-driven, people-centric community and the new center of Dubai’s future. The company previously supplied LED signage for Expo 2020 and later committed to providing built-in home appliances – including refrigerators, dishwashers and ovens – for 3,000 households currently being built within the smart city.
As a provider of Space as a Service – offering holistic, space-optimized solutions – LG will support the project with innovative infrastructure across multiple areas, including AI data center cooling solutions and smart home systems powered by the company’s AI Home Hub platform.
Through this latest partnership, LG aims to strengthen its position as a comprehensive solutions provider across the B2C, B2B and B2G sectors in the Middle East.
“With our differentiated HVAC technologies and AI Home Hub-based smart solutions, we are committed to contributing to sustainable growth in the Middle East,” said William Cho, CEO of LG Electronics. “We will accelerate efforts to capture new B2B and B2G opportunities with solutions built around each country’s future direction.”
Accelerating B2B and B2G Growth Across the Middle East
LG continues to expand its presence in major markets such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The company has operated in the UAE for 30 years and manages regional headquarters overseeing operations across 75 markets in the Middle East and Africa.
In September, LG signed an MoU to supply cooling solutions for the Middle East’s largest net-zero AI data center – currently being built in Oxagon, the advanced industrial district within Saudi Arabia’s NEOM gigaproject. The agreement – made in partnership with ACWA Power, SHAKER Group and DATAVOLT – positions LG as a strategic contributor to next-generation data center infrastructure.
In Saudi Arabia, LG began its air conditioner partnership with SHAKER Group in 1995 and formed a joint venture in 2006, expanding its B2C and B2B businesses. In recent years, the company has expanded its participation in government-led initiatives, driving consistent growth in B2G revenue. Looking ahead, LG aims to increase the share of its B2B business to around 45 percent of total revenue by 2030.
