LG Teams Up with Ubisoft to Bring Dance Frenzy to Smart TVs
Get ready to bust a move without needing to step foot in a living room. In a bid to cater to the growing demand for gaming and entertainment on smart TVs, LG has partnered with Ubisoft to bring the popular motion-controlled rhythm game Just Dance Now to its webOS-powered devices.
From December, LG users can look forward to accessing hundreds of songs across decades through this free-to-play game, available exclusively in the LG Gaming Portal. The service will be supported by a cloud gaming model that doesn't require any additional hardware beyond the user's TV and the LG Magic Remote – no Wii-esque controller needed!
The concept of Just Dance Now has been around since 2014 as a mobile app, with subsequent releases on Apple TV. Ubisoft's latest effort is tailored towards casual gamers who prefer to play on their big screens rather than their handheld devices. With an ever-expanding library of songs at users' fingertips and paid subscription options available for those seeking more content, this service promises to satisfy even the most avid dance enthusiasts.
One notable feature that sets Just Dance Now apart from other gaming experiences is its reliance on the LG Magic Remote's motion-sensing capabilities, making it easy to pick up without needing any extra accessories. This approach simplifies the gameplay experience and eliminates the need for separate controllers or peripherals.
Ahead of its official launch in December, a beta version of Just Dance Now will be available for testing purposes – allowing users to try out the game with three pre-loaded tracks on day one and an additional daily track throughout the two-week trial period. While no specific date has been announced yet, fans can expect more information soon.
As part of its growth into a viable gaming platform, LG's Gaming Portal continues to expand with new additions, including cloud gaming services like GeForce NOW, which recently introduced 4K 120Hz game streams on compatible devices.

I'm hyped about this new move by LG and Ubisoft! Who wouldn't want to bust a move on their smart TV? It's genius how they're making use of the Magic Remote's motion-sensing capabilities - it's so seamless! 
But, gotta wonder if it's gonna get old after a while. All that dancing can be tiring 
...
It's genius how Just Dance Now is optimized for smart TVs, no extra hardware needed – that Magic Remote is already a game-changer (pun intended) 
. And with hundreds of songs and cloud gaming capabilities, it's a win-win for casual gamers and dance enthusiasts alike! 
I'm hyped to try out this beta version in December, can't wait to bust some moves on my big screen 
So they're teaming up to make smart TVs all about getting weirdly excited for pop songs while flailing around in front of the TV... sounds like a solid plan to get people off their couches and into their LG TVs. Like, who doesn't love busting a move in front of the whole family? 
Can't wait to see what other "innovative" ways they'll try to make gaming more appealing on smart TVs... probably something involving AI-powered dance bots or something 
. I'm also stoked to see more games like this being added to the Gaming Portal. It's about time smart TVs got a bit more gaming cred, if you ask me 
I mean who doesn't love dancing around their living room to their fave tunes? and it's free too, that's a major win in my book! the cloud gaming thing is so cool, no need for any extra controllers or stuff like that. I can just use my magic remote and be groovin' in no time 
. Just Dance Now is literally just a rehashing of an old mobile app 
. I mean, what's next? Bringing back Snake II or something? 
The fact that they're relying on the LG Magic Remote's motion-sensing capabilities is just lazy 
. Can't they come up with something more original for once? And why do we need to pay for more content when we can already access hundreds of songs for free? 
It's all about nickel-and-diming us until our eyes bleed 
...
And, tbh, having hundreds of songs at my fingertips is gonna be a total game-changer (pun intended)! 
. The motion-sensing thingy with the Magic Remote is super cool too... it makes the gameplay experience feel way more immersive 
. Can't wait to try out this beta version and see what all the fuss is about!
I'm so hyped for the beta test and can't wait for it to launch in December! 
. hope it's as fun as people say it is
