– Blacknut, the leading cloud gaming service, has unveiled its new Gamepad Companion App, a breakthrough innovation that turns smartphones into virtual controllers for gaming on Smart TVs. Initially launched in beta on LG Smart TVs, the app is now live across all Blacknut TV applications, reinforcing the company’s mission to make gaming more accessible and engaging.

Designed for seamless, hardware-free game discovery, the Gamepad Companion App allows new users to jump into gaming without the need for a physical controller. As Blacknut refines this feature, future updates will expand its compatibility across more devices, including laptops and tablets, and introduce multiplayer capabilities.

The gaming landscape is evolving rapidly, with interactive entertainment becoming a dominant force in media consumption. Blacknut has seen a 50% surge in Smart TV gaming engagement in 2024, highlighting the growing demand for effortless access to gaming experiences. With its cloud gaming platform already integrated into major Smart TV brands—including LG WebOS, Samsung Tizen, VIDAA, Google TV, Android TV, and Amazon FireTVOS—Blacknut is uniquely positioned to meet this demand.

The launch of the Companion App strengthens Blacknut’s role in the TV ecosystem, offering partners a ready-to-deploy solution that enhances engagement and expands home entertainment possibilities. Available to all Smart TV manufacturers, the app provides users with a native cloud gaming tool, eliminating the immediate need for a console-style controller.
