Two family-friendly games are coming to owners of LG smart TVs under a partnership the TV brand struck with Blacknut Cloud Gaming.

Under the deal, which was announced today, owners of LG smart TVs running webOS 6.0 that were built between 2021 and 2024 can now access and install Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway and The Jackbox Party Starter. The games are available for download through LG’s webOS App Store/LG Content Store and include 30 minutes of free playtime so you can try before you buy.

Each game carries its own contract-free monthly subscription fee, which is $4.99/month for Kart Racers 3 and $2.99/month for The Jackbox Party Starter.

The decision to offer a cloud gaming option on its TVs was born out of research showing a significant increase in the number of LG TV owners who opened cloud gaming apps over the past year.

“Through this seamless access, players can dive into their favorite games quickly, effortlessly, and with minimal expense, allowing for more spontaneous and flexible gaming sessions,” said Olivier Avaro, CEO of Blacknut, which bills itself as the “first streaming games platform for the whole family.”

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway offers fast-paced, family-friendly racing action featuring beloved Nickelodeon characters and customizable karts for a fun and competitive experience. The game is playable in Solo or Multiplayer mode using Bluetooth controllers and supports the use of up to four gamepads simultaneously.

The Jackbox Party Starter is a collection of Jackbox’s most popular multiplayer games, including Trivia Murder Party 2, Tee K.O, and Quiplash 3. The games are playable via a remote control, gamepad, or mobile device (as controller), allowing anyone with an internet-connected phone, tablet, or laptop to join a game without a game controller.
