LG today announced a partnership with digital games leader Miniclip to launch the global hit mobile game 8 Ball Pool on LG Smart TVs, making its first availability on the big screen. Recognized by Guinness World Records as the most downloaded mobile pool game, with more than 1 billion downloads worldwide, 8 Ball Pool will be available on webOS 6.0 and above. For its big screen at home debut, 8 Ball Pool has been optimized for the webOS platform with a dynamic user interface, allowing players to aim, adjust power and shoot with intuitive precision using the LG Magic Remote. The game also offers optional in-game items for purchase, adding opportunities for fun and personalization.
Recognizing the TV’s unique role as the centerpiece of living room entertainment, LG and Miniclip are introducing the all-new Couch Play Mode, an exclusive feature for this release. This specialized mode adds 1-on-1 multiplayer gameplay, allowing two users to compete head-to-head on the same screen and bringing family and friends together for shared, competitive fun from the comfort of the sofa. To celebrate the launch, LG and Miniclip are offering exclusive items specially designed for LG TV users.
The game can be accessed via LG Apps or the LG Gaming Portal. In the Gaming Portal, users can also collect special rewards, such as badges in My Page, by completing tasks. The launch of 8 Ball Pool further reinforces LG’s continued momentum in TV gaming, bringing one of the most recognizable casual gaming experiences to the connected TV screen.
