Blacknut Cloud Gaming Launches on TiVo OS

TiVo OS Expands Gaming Access

By teaming up with TiVo, the cloud gaming service is making its entire portfolio available on Powered by TiVo hardware, thereby broadening its footprint to include TV brands like Metz, Sharp, and Thomson. According to Trusted Reviews, the service sits alongside movies, TV shows, sports, and streaming apps already available through TiVo OS.

The partnership places console-quality experiences directly into the living room without requiring extra hardware. Olivier Avaro, CEO of Blacknut, commented: Television has always been the biggest screen in the home for storytelling. Today’s audiences don’t just want to watch incredible worlds—they want to step inside them. Our service on Powered by TiVo devices reflects that evolution, placing premium cloud gaming alongside the entertainment people already love. As cloud gaming continues to grow in the living room, we’re ensuring players can instantly discover and enjoy console-quality experiences without additional hardware.

Game Library and Hardware Requirements

Blacknut’s library covers blockbuster adventures, action titles, family-friendly games, and indie releases, according to Trusted Reviews. Specific titles available on the platform include Just Cause 4, Overcooked! 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, NBA 2K23, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Star Wars: Outlaws, and Art of Fighting 2.

Because games stream directly from the cloud, users do not need to install titles or buy additional gaming hardware, though a compatible controller is required, Trusted Reviews noted. The subscription operates as an all-you-can-play model supporting up to five player profiles and up to four controllers simultaneously.

Platform Strategy and Market Reach

The partnership highlights a broader industry shift where smart TVs double as comprehensive entertainment hubs rather than simple video screens, according to Trusted Reviews. Stephane David, senior director, content partnerships and business development at TiVo, explained the platform’s vision: TiVo is dedicated to helping consumers spend less time searching and more time enjoying the entertainment they love. Adding Blacknut to our platform extends that promise beyond traditional video content, bringing premium cloud gaming into the experience and giving consumers even more ways to find, watch, play, and enjoy their favourite content all in one place.

Trusted Reviews noted that Blacknut is already available on more than 100 million smart TVs globally through partnerships with manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Philips, Hisense, Toshiba, JVC, CHiQ, and Medion. The service operates in more than 65 countries, offering users a seamless living-room experience that eliminates the need to switch to a separate console.
