LG today announced that Google's Stadia cloud gaming service is now available on LG smart TVs running webOS 5.0 or webOS 6.0.

With a $10-a-month subscription to Stadia Pro, you'll be able to play more than 30 games without additional charges, as well as enjoy support for 4K HDR and graphics hitting 60 frames per second — plus 5.1 surround sound. That'll require as much bandwidth as you can throw at it, though.
