SIMPLE SETUP
How to play games on your smart TV
- 1
Open the web browser on your TV. Most Samsung, LG, Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV devices have one built in.
- 2
Type gamesontv.online into the address bar.
- 3
Pick a game and press OK.
That is it. Nothing to install and nothing to sign into. If your TV has no browser, open the same address on a laptop and cast or plug in over HDMI.
REMOTE FIRST
Built for the remote, not adapted to it
Most browser games assume a mouse. Console games assume a controller. On a TV you have four arrow keys and an OK button — and that is all these games need.
Nothing here is a phone game squeezed onto a big screen. Each one is designed around the D-pad from the start: large type you can read from the sofa, high contrast, a focus highlight you can actually see, and menus you reach in two or three presses instead of twenty.
No controller to buy. No account. No adverts interrupting a turn. The games run in your browser on the device you are playing on.
BROWSER FRIENDLY
