LG Electronics has partnered with digital games specialist Miniclip to bring the mobile hit 8 Ball Pool to LG Smart TVs, marking the game’s first availability on the big screen. Recognised by Guinness World Records as the most downloaded mobile pool game with over 1 billion downloads worldwide, the title is now accessible on webOS 6.0 and newer models from 2021 onwards.
Bringing Mobile Pool to webOS Platforms
The game has been redesigned specifically for living room displays. For its big-screen debut, 8 Ball Pool has been optimised for the webOS platform with a dynamic user interface. Players can aim, adjust power, and shoot with intuitive precision using the LG Magic Remote. The release also includes optional in-game items available for purchase.
